Archaeostoryteller\u2019s actions include talks and lectures in universities and various other institutions, as well as a regular podcast. His first popular archaeology book <em>How to Fit All of Ancient Greece in an Elevator<\/em> was published by Key Books, and it became a best seller, also winning the Audience Award at the 2021 Public Book Awards. It has been translated into 13 languages. His second book, titled <em>Archaeology My Love\u2026 Get Me Out of Here <\/em>has also enjoyed great commercial success, also winning the 2022 Public Book Award. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, the documentary series <em>RESCUED IN TIME <\/em>came out on COSMOTE History, directed by Lefteris Charitos, describing the entire journey of ancient texts and how they survived from antiquity to our times, as well as the children\u2019s edition of his first book, <em>How to Fit All of Ancient Greece in an Elevator, <\/em>simplified and richly illustrated, specifically for children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Theodore Papakostas is an archaeologist.
