Once upon a time
In a land long ago
Where men and women made
a many tales of woe

From the burial inside of Shanidar Cave
To the death of the Mungo Man
And battles where the dead lay

Archaeologists seek to recover these long lost relics
from the Egyptians to the Romans
to the Neanderthals and the Celtics
They discover these civilisations and write them in books
to the clothes they wore, to all their favourite looks.
