History may indeed be generally thought of as the study of the
past, but that doesn’t mean that it exists in isolation, never to
be touched or revised.
One of the most exciting parts of historical study is
revealing something new, whether that’s unearthing an
artefact buried for centuries or coming up with a new theory
on received ideas. This issue, we delve into the new theories
posited about the Terracotta Warriors of Xi’an,
China (page 22), and look at the evidence
supporting the claims of Greek influence
there. We also head to Jerusalem (page 38)
where incredible artefacts and battle sites
are being found with amazing regularity.
We also take a look under Reading’s car
parks to find clues as to the whereabouts
of Henry I (page 30), who might well be
following the lead of Richard III, laid to
rest in an unknown place for centuries.
There’s so much to discover, perhaps
for the very first time, so dig in and get
ready to uncover the truth.
