ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Aurel Stein

Aurel Stein was a man who lived a long time ago. He was a very smart and curious person who loved to explore and learn new things. He used to travel to faraway places like Central Asia, India and China to discover old objects and artifacts that belonged to different cultures and civilizations.

Stein was kind of like a detective who wanted to solve mysteries about people who lived long before him. He discovered many things like old paintings, sculptures, books, and even clothes. He would carefully take these objects back with him to England to study and show them to other smart people who were interested in history.

Stein had a big heart and he wanted to share his discoveries with everyone. He wrote books and made pictures of all the things that he had found so that people could see them and learn about them too. Thanks to him, we now know more about the history of different cultures and civilizations. He was truly a great explorer and a fantastic teacher.
