ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Nancy Thomson de Grummond

Nancy Thomson De Grummond is a person who really loves learning about ancient stuff that people did a long, long time ago. Like, even before our grandparents were born! She is especially interested in ancient people who lived in Italy, which is a country far away from where we live.

Nancy likes to go on adventures to find things that ancient people left behind. She might go digging in the dirt or look through old books that were written a long time ago. She uses these things to learn about how ancient people lived, what they did, and what they believed.

Sometimes, Nancy shows other people what she has learned. She might write a book or teach a class at a university (which is a big school for grown-ups). This way, other people can learn about the ancient people too.

Nancy Thomson De Grummond is like a really cool detective who solves mysteries about the past!
