Munro explores the various methods used by archeologists to uncover ancient artifacts and the challenges they face in distinguishing between genuine and fake objects. He also examines the motives behind the creation of false antiquities, including the desire for profit, nationalistic pride, and the desire to deceive. Munro provides numerous examples of famous forgeries throughout history, such as the Piltdown Man hoax and the Etruscan terracotta warriors.
