Ancient sites spotted from space
Posted By Traveler on 20. März 2012
Well, well, what can I say. This truely is a triumph for science and technology. Space science has helped archeology spot new potential sites of ancient habitation. More details in this article by the BBC.
And it is not only about science: Every dig is also an adventure, every new discovery is an adventure. The glory days of archeology are now.
Granted, Tutenchamun’s tomb has been found, but who knows what other treasures wait out there, hidden from sight for millenia.
Maybe there is still time for me to pursue the career I dreamed of as a boy… Be an archeologist.
I am an anthropologist and in this capacity a minor scholar of the Cthulhu Mythos and H.P. Lovecraft. I am also quite obviously heavily into Steampunk and Dieselpunk and like travelling.
