As archaeologists dig through the ground in their search for lost cities and civilizations, they often find tools and other traces of activities left behind by those who previously lived there. Those tools are valuable not only because they often look fascinating and so different from the tools we use today, but also because they tell a story. It's not a fairy tale or a science fiction novel. Those are all true stories about families, communities and even entire nations that lived there. By finding and studying these tools, we are able to visualize their cultures, traditions, and even small, everyday habits. That way, not only do we learn more about our own past, but we are also able to preserve and protect it for future generations.
