Ancient Sanitation
This has been an issue from day one. Ever since God created Adam and Eve and let them loose in the garden, something had to be done about and developed for waste materials. This is not an issue that was only discovered in modern times. While we will never know what took place in theContinue reading “Ancient Sanitation”
Ancient Severed Hands
The story was published in a scientific paper in March of this year and then repeated by the Jerusalem Post last month. It is an interesting discovery that does have a modern equivalent. We will quote the Jerusalem Post first then move on to the scientific paper: Archaeologists find 12 severed hands from ancient EgyptContinue reading “Ancient Severed Hands”
Ancient Travel
This subject is a little harder to research as the travel records for ancient people have not survived in a large quantity. We do have different records and many websites talk about the most famous ancient travelers but their definition of ancient seems to stop in the Middle Ages with a couple explorers from theContinue reading “Ancient Travel”
Ancient Libraries
As you may know, if you have read earlier articles on this website, we are not a supporter of the idea that the ancient world was illiterate. Dr. Wm. Dever is a big proponent of that concept and he stated as much in his 8 lecture series How Archaeology Illuminates the Bible. We may haveContinue reading “Ancient Libraries”
Ancient Roman Shipwreck
We are not talking about the many shipwrecks on the eastern side of the Atlantic. We are delving into the few Roman shipwrecks discovered on that ocean’s Western side. We first heard about this discovery when we first read Dr. Charles Pellegrino’s book Unearthing Atlantis about 15 years ago. Since then we have researched itContinue reading “Ancient Roman Shipwreck”
Ancient Prisons
We did some research on this topic after mentioning its lack of inclusion in the archaeological record. What we found has been interesting but not very thorough. By thorough we mean that it seems that this topic is either glossed over, given a few tweaks, or the topic was very heavily influenced by someone’s interpretationContinue reading “Ancient Prisons”
Food For Thought
We have been thinking about how the modern archaeologists, and many archaeologists over the past 150 years, present the ancient world. With everything they have found it seems that this group of people think the ancient world was filled with utopian societies. Yes, they do talk of invasions and atrocities committed by some ancient civilizations,Continue reading “Food For Thought”
Opening Pandora’s Box- Using AI in Archaeology
We do not think that artificial Intelligence will be of a lot of help to archaeology. It is a binary system and it needs fieldwork to understand all the nuances involved with this field of research/ However, some people think this new ‘research option’ is being touted as the next best thing for translating ancientContinue reading “Opening Pandora’s Box- Using AI in Archaeology”
Atlantis
Just that one word seems to spark a romanticism that is not associated with too many historical sites, fact or fiction. What follows is a synopsis of the story as well as some other comments we will make. The origin of the story As everyone know, Plato is credited with recording the story about thisContinue reading “Atlantis”
