Persepolis, and the thousands of clay tablets. also the behistun inscription which helped to translate sumerian/akkadian and elamite languages by the old persian
Totally agreed; hard just to had a conversation with my thirteen-year-old grandson this morning that was the only word that came out of his mouth was "NERD" of course, we happened to be talking about archaeology. 😢 it saddened me that he took it that 😒 serious.
Hello ! My name is Théophile Popbou. I'm a student in Archealogy and preservation of cultural heritage in the university of Dschang in Cameroun. I am in Master 1 . Thanks for your video
As a kid i was fascinated by it and always wanted to be a archeologist, now with youtube , we get to see first hand digs and discoveries , history youtube is truly amazing.
I do study archaeology and I know you might didn't have enough time to mention some other important Scandinavian archaeologists. Me myself am not a Scandinavian but archaeologists like Christian Thomsen, Jens Worsaae and Oscar Montelius are very important aswell. But I do appreciate the video you made, it was very informative and correct.
discovery? the greatest...wow my mind went blank ... i heard they found a chariot wheel or wheels while searching the route of the Exodus across the Red sea.....pretty cool! not able to tell if its the big guy Ramsey's the great but they said its from that time. also The royal tombs of UR....sorry everything bible related. john 1:3kjv.
ok... me... me... i'll guess... archaeology is important to man because... you cannot go into the future... without... the past.... knowz why?... because... you cannot exhale... without... first inhaling... it is impossible to do...
Archeology as a science is in serious trouble. The late nineteenth century/ early twentieth century paradigms, are not accurate. Modern scientific methods, such as carbon dating, gas spectrometry, mass spectrometry, lidar, ground penetrating radar, etc. have more than proven, that places like Angkor Wat, Sigiriya, the Sphinx, Kailas Temple, are all much older, than an expensive education will teach you. We know these things, yet it is still being taught. We are STILL supposed to believe, that Angkor Wat was built in the 1300s by an unpopular king, with a massive ego problem. Same kind of thin wispy story about Sigiriya, and most of the Indian, and south east Asian temples, and palaces. So now what does a young aspiring archeologist do? Try this. Try asking hard questions about the dates, of such places. Question the methodology of the investigations, into dating these places. See for yourself, if archeologist, have been following due diligence, and proper scientific methods, when stating conclusions. See for yourself, if the dates in question, hold up to modern dating and testing techniques and protocols. If at the end of your investigation, you still feel, that the great pyramid, was a tomb for Kufu. Then you might enjoy an academically funded career, in archeology. If you want the truth, you will find resistance, and little reward, financially. Knowledge is the right choice.
