Lost Gold of the Dark Ages: War, Treasure, and the Mystery of the Saxons (Hardback)

Featuring one of the greatest archaeological finds of the century, The Coming of the Saxons spans an era long wrapped in myth and legend, from the dusk of the Roman Empire in 450 A.D. to the Norman Invasion in 1066. Perhaps the most famous--the legends of King Arthur--arose from this period. But new scholarship and amazing discoveries are rewriting that history and shedding new light on the multitude of cultures that clashed, evolved, and ultimately gave root to Western Civilization. The book is a key component of a major National Geographic Society cross-divisional platform of television specials, a magazine article, and web coverage that, like The Gospel of Judas and the discovery of Titanic puts a priceless treasure in the news and sheds light on a hugely influential era of history.
