Many people aren’t aware but a lot of people look down on this in the archaeology field including me, it’s literally just grave robbing and it’s not done for the knowledge that comes with it, it’s done to be able to sell your name and whatever artifacts and such you can pocket, rule number one of archaeology is you don’t profit off the dead’s belonging, and not mention in many cultures digging up and taking their things, ruins their souls in afterlife’s, and whether you believe it or not it must be respected

Yeah been thinking about this, like why not just leave the dead people alone.

Ego and pride it’s something in archaeology they try to teach to get over but a lot of people don’t, I’ve left projects before because my team wants to keep digging or is taking things archaeology has a major ethics problem
