why does archeology always remove furniture, murals etc...
can they not examine without removal / desecrating?
.
dun they kno these are there for symbolic, map, fable purpose?
can we not juz watch the exhibits?
---
rosary phenomena..
dun you say a prayer mantra b4 touching any temple relic?
.
you may breathe in a ghost
ghost may follow
statue may come alive
.
dun they feel the creeps touching such preserved religious corpse?

Well for one, the ancient items as soon as they are exposed to the air begin to deterate. They are removed and put in a room that they will last longer and be able to be researched better.

Also it is better for recording the finer qualites.

Besides, archeologists tend to be scientists and don't hold to stupid and unfounded fears about ghosts. That seems to be the untrained mind that falls into that idologic traping.

pardon me for the delay, i was researching several subjects
.
-----
this technique may not work for certain sites
for instance, some et sites are well preserved.
.
in certain sites,
leaving it in the tombs might preserve them better,
since the climate, humidity, temp, reflectance is controlled.
,
It is known that certain sites were constructed by et.
.
another option is to put an environmental barrier,
such as heavy-duty airlock
on such sites
-----
many galleries are actually map rooms or for presentation
the room dimensions may even encode messages.
suppose you remove a mural,
and later you find that it is needed..
remember the scene where Indiana Jones
used a crystal shaft in the map room?
.
-----
you sure they didn't say a prayer mantra?
i suppose they dun believe in such superstitions
but would this stop the entities from existing?
.
And how would you know there's no other dimensional density entities?
Some of these species seem to kno other dimensions
even their glyhs are ancient.
which are recursive (expressing many meanings)
-----
"were you the first few ppl the ghost saw
when it was released?"
.

i'm just saying the way the stuff is put in
there may be important

Unfortunetly, archeologists are not aware of these sites you claim are known to be alien. So they still need to remove the items and keep them where they can activly monitor temperature and humidity. A tomb is not a controlled enviroment: its just a tomb.

I have no idea what "reflectance" is.

Are not the Great Pyramids et constructed?
.

One Great Pyramid?
.
How about Cydonia?
,

Since we are talking about archaeology, Cydonia hasnt been excavated by archaeologists yet. So its kind of hard to make the claim that its a Great Pyramid.

Maybe we'll find out in like 100 years when NASA gets their thumb out of their arses and start building new things instead of using 40 year old stuff that's falling apart.

In reference to your original post - Archaeology is actually funded the same way that many scientific research projects are.

So in otherwords, Archaeological finds are usually considered the dominion of the company that sponsored the Archaeological team.

Didn't you realise that all those shoot-ups in art galleries and museums are taking place around - on the odd occasion - multi-million dollar investments?

In a real sense, Archaeology is the new safari quest - except the prey is worth many times more than that of some mere pelt.

Harte,

They were taken down in favor of a Martian IHOP. Breakfast, anyone?
This happened around 2006.

cormac

interesting..
How about your so-called
secret government?
.
since there's so much talk about this
why no simply send big octopus probe to cydonia next?

Cydonia and archaeology have absolutely no relevance to each other.

Please try to keep on topic.

Thanks

They are the same topic.
When a Mars mission is sent in the future.
How will cydonia be examined?
.

Firs tit will be examined to determine if it is an actual archaeological site, if it is it will be excavated. Since the site is hostile, in the sense of lack of oxygen and intense sand storms. It would be excavated probably in similar ways to how sites in harsh conditions are treated on earth. A habitat will be established, and the site will be enclosed if possible. If not, forays will be established, digs started. Objects found would be carefully exhumed, mapped, and examined in a safer location.
If it turns out it's just a geological formation, then it'll be treated like any other, mapped, geologic surveys done, and then they move on tot he next spot.

That's what we're discussing..
.
These sites can't juz be excavated since they may be there for presentation purpose.

Funding agencies for archaeological projects are generally Universities, not commercial enterprises like treasure hunting consortiums.

An excavation is never conducted in a willy-nilly fashion...and Indiana Jones' technique is pure Hollywood at best...looting at its worst. Investigations are done in the full knowlege that the data base is being destroyed, therefore careful records and diagrams are kept throughout the process.

Finally, it is recognised that sometimes the best circumstance for the site is to remain in the ground, in situ. Too often, though, excavation is done in advance of development which would destroy the site, so it is considered rescue archaeology.

Hah, and where do the universities get their money from, prey tell?

You're forgetting about archaeological projects that work in places in south america not too far from certain cannabis farms most likely.

some of those things do have hired escorts after all, and often they themselves are acting on the interests of local concerns.

But anyway, back to the main point;

SnowWhite, there are people out there who realise the masses simply don't have the time or the cash to go investigating the mayan cities or the valley of the kings - and, like any sensible concern - capitalize on this fact by bringing artifacts from lesser locations purely for your mainstream and whimsical interests.

If you would like to go and visit a place with real appeal, like a Necropolis - you'll have to go find one.

Go on, get!
