Résumé :
History is often perceived as a collection of dates, events, and figures, neatly packaged in textbooks and classrooms. But what if history were more than that? What if it were a living, breathing narrative that connects our past with our present and future, intertwined with mysteries, legacies, and the undying pursuit of truth? Once Upon Historians is a journey into this vibrant world, led by three remarkable individuals whose lives are dedicated to uncovering the secrets of history. In this book, we follow Elodie Laurent, Kanchana Desai, and Naureen Mehra from their early years under the guidance of their inspiring teachers, Mrs. Laila Reilly and Dr. Zayd Hasan. Their story begins in the prologue, where we meet them as curious eight-year-olds, eager to learn and explore. This foundation, set by their mentors, sparks a passion for history that propels them into a series of incredible adventures. From unravelling Mughal mysteries to uncovering the hidden treasures of the ancient Mayan temples, these historians embark on a quest that takes them across time and space. Each chapter delves into a new mystery, a new historical enigma waiting to be solved. As the story unfolds, they confront challenges, debate the peaks of trade, and reveal the courage woven into the fabric of history. But Once Upon Historians is not just about the past...
