Description
The extraordinary story of Alexander the Great's lost city is one that has captivated historians and scholars for centuries. In 1833, it was rediscovered in Afghanistan by Charles Masson, an ordinary working-class boy from London who had turned his life into a remarkable journey of discovery. Masson's adventures took him to the heart of the East, where he encountered kings, holy men, and spies, all while uncovering secrets that few Westerners had ever glimpsed. His discoveries included the 2,000-year-old Bimaran golden casket, which bears the earliest known image of the Buddha. This book tells the story of Masson's incredible quest to unravel one of history's greatest mysteries, a journey that would change him forever and leave an indelible mark on our understanding of ancient history.
