Where: Israel/Sudan/Cyprus - Archaeology
Who: Scott Huff
Hi guys, welcome back to our blog! Today we talked to an archeologist that has lived in 3 different places! That's right he’s lived in Israel, Sudan, and Egypt. We are currently observing some things he's explored. He is showing the dirt, burnt straw, and unburnt straw from an ancient stable. These different layers of dirt show the history of civilization and how people survived back then.
Cyprus was built in the Iron Age. It was found only 2 feet under the ground. The things included marble, statues, and messages that are only half decipherable.
In Sudan he is unable to revisit due to the government collapsing and making it dangerous to travel to and study. There are a series of ancient Egyptian pyramids. Near these pyramids they found ancient Egyptian things to be preserved. The measured and mapped out all of it and the graph is the only record of all of it.
In Israel there is the Formation of Tel which is where everyone built a top of, making giant mounds that are found in Palestine and Israel. In these mounds there are metal making areas, homes, and other places and things they used to live and survive.
There's the “uh-oh house” which got its name from seeming to go on forever to the point where it was becoming problematic because they couldn't keep researching that house and they needed it to stop.
In the late bronze period they would find foot imprints in the stone. Archaeologists will be able to find all sorts of stuff like valuables you carried every day, plates, bones, even what you ate. At least if it's meat. They also found seeds, photos, and ancient artifacts so if your phone lasts long enough that could be examined in the future.
If you are interested in history, biology, photography, computer science, then archeology might be for you to explore as a potential career path. It’s a very captivating job that helps you understand the past of humans. The best part is that there's always something new to discover! Archaeology is an amazing job and it gives you lots of new experiences and many opportunities to learn about the world and its past. Archaeology helps and allows you to view statues, buildings, and so much more in a new way.
In archeology you get to see how people made stuff back in the day, how people behaved back then and help resolve real world problems. For if we had thrown away the Mona Lisa or similar paintings we would never be able to learn what and how art worked back in the day.
Archeology is an art style of discovering history and will impact our future by learning about our past.
