Erosion

This is one of the deadly foes that archaeologists or modern equipment can defeat. Erosion is more destructive than what archaeology does to different sites. At least with the latter, there are remains to be seen for upcoming generations.

This destructive force was documented very well in K.A. Kitchen’s book The Bible in Its World. This was done in the first chapter of that book. What this tells us is that archaeology is never going to provide a complete witness to the past or its events.

That is because when it is gone, it is gone. As one archaeologist stated in an article about another historical site being destroyed by this force:

You know, we can’t save everything, and what goes away goes away,” said Emily Jane Murray, public archaeology coordinator for the Florida Public Archaeology Network, who added that in some cases, the best option for saving archaeological sites is to fully excavate them before they succumb to sea level rise, which preserves data but also destroys the site.

Archaeology can only reveal so much so to base one’s life, beliefs, and future on what archaeology has to say is complete foolishness. This field just does not have the ability to preserve the past.

This is especially so when archaeologists adopt fake ideologies like climate change, rising water levels, and more. If archaeologists did not leave so much in the ground for future generations to find, we would have a better idea of what happened in the past.

Archaeologists have known about this problem for centuries yet fail to develop methods that remove the remains faster than they are going currently. Itis a shame but they only have themselves to blame.
