What did a construction site look like in the Stone Age? Did our ancestors really use a dinosaur's long neck as a crane? What a crazy idea! And how did the ancient Egyptians build their pyramids, or the knights their castles? On one of the five large double-page spreads, the renowned illustrator Andreas Ganther takes us to the massive construction site of Berlin—no, not the Berlin Brandenburg Airport. But right into the heart of our capital: excavators tearing down the Berlin Wall, Christo wrapping the Reichstag, Angela Merkel plastering the Brandenburg Gate. And even the Carnival of Cultures makes an appearance. This picture book isn't a textbook or educational resource. On the contrary, it simply aims to entertain. And thanks to the many references to people and events from history and the present day, it's fun for adults too.
