The Domesday Book is a vast compilation of statistics spanning over two million words, earning it the esteemed title of "the most comprehensive array of social and economic data... possibly from the planet." This remarkable achievement secured its place as a world heritage site, standing apart from iconic structures like the pyramids of Egypt or the Great Wall of China. Despite the passage of two centuries and numerous scholarly interpretations, the book has remained largely unread, as its intricate statistics confuse and perplex scholars. Some even argue that the effort spent on translating and studying it was a futile endeavor. However, buried within the text are just twenty words, found in two specific locations, that hold the key to unlocking its mysteries. These words have gone unnoticed for centuries, adding an intriguing layer to the Domesday Book's enigma.

The quest to decipher these words and unravel the secrets they hold is at the heart of Raising the Dead. While the book explores a significant archaeological discovery, it unfolds in a captivating narrative style, reminiscent of a thrilling search for a lost tomb and a buried treasure. At its core, this search revolves around a hidden clue: a mere twenty words scattered across two million words hold the key to unlocking the tomb. Once the tomb is opened, the challenge becomes one of code-breaking, requiring a deep understanding of logic and statistics to uncover the hidden treasure.

The step-by-step approach employed in this book makes it an ideal resource for both classrooms and non-specialist readers. By simplifying the complex logic and statistics involved in detecting this secret repository, it demystifies the process and encourages a broader audience to engage with the material. Raising the Dead offers a captivating journey through history, combining archaeology, mystery, and intrigue, making it a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the hidden treasures of the past.
