A learning adventure that deals with the concepts of data processing
and computer science. We slip into the role of a young assistant
during an unusual archaeological excavation. Our uncle, Jaques Moreau,
is the leader of a nine-headed team engaged with a recently discovered
advanced culture, that already used ingenious calculating machines,
codes and algorithms 7000 years ago. This civilization hasn't only
left stone buildings, but also a number of artifacts, machines, the
relevant language and a decimal number system, in which they laid down
the knowledge of their culture. The archaeologists call the people Ba-
it-anians, which corresponds to the computer-technical unit "byte" if
you listen to the sound of the word. Our nameless hero - uncle always
calls him 'my boy' - arrives exactly at the time in the excavation
place, when some valuable artifacts disappeared and uncle Jaques
deploys him to resolve the theft. Additionally an act of sabotage
leads to burying one of the team members and the game becomes a
whodunnit story. (From [this review][1].)
