Case Closed?: Nine Mysteries Unlocked by Modern Science
Case Closed
Michael Wandelmaier, Susan Hughes
Egypt's first female pharaoh disappears around 1457 BCE --- was she murdered? Find out how DNA closes the case. The ancient Arabian Peninsula city of Ubar vanishes, seemingly without trace. Find out how old maps and modern space shuttles help solve the mystery. Sir John Franklin's 1845 expedition to find the Northwest Passage is never heard from again. Find out how spectroscopy points to some probable explanations. Case Closed? examines these and six other mysteries from ancient and modern times. Accompanied by photos, maps, diagrams and illustrations, this book reveals how modern science sheds new light on people, vessels and entire civilizations throughout history that simply vanished. In some cases, the mystery has been solved. In other cases, readers can examine the latest evidence and decide for themselves.

Case Closed review by AStor
Profile Picture
AStor

Case closed is a very interesting book. It talks about
erie unsolved events from 1457 bce to 1968. It covers a
wide range of cases including Hatshepsut the lost queen to
the lost INS dakar sub. It has many great pictures
relating to the case. The thing I like the best was that
it is packed with information. It tells what the case is
then describes how the scientist went on to solve it. It
is a perfect book for a classroom.
