Welcome to the A-Z of Archaeology! In this series we take a look at the world of Archaeology, employing the alphabet as our guide.
This is a Special Edition re-release of the A-Z of Archaeology, part of a year of celebration for 10 years of Archaeosoup Productions!
Where possible, audio quality has been improved and made louder & occasionally visuals have been improved. However I don't want to 'George Lucas' this series and fundamentally alter it... Enjoy.

On 22nd May 2022, I continued my adventure in Rise of the Tomb Raider (2015) ...
Having glimpsed beyond the veil on Yamatai, Lara Croft continues in the footsteps of her late father's research, trekking across Siberia in search of the source of immortality.
More experienced and confident than she was in the previous game, Lara must RISE to the challenge in a race against Trinity, an ancient and ruthless shadow organisation hell-bent on world domination!
Can, Lara uncover the mysteries of Kitezh and prove to the world that her father was chasing more than a myth?
