- adolph 2y ago> it was basically trash Exactly. Just like Al Capones vaults. They just needed to wait a few several hundred more years. Then they could do the custodial thing. Maybe if they start a foundation now they can make sure nobody forgets about it until they can make bank with the historicity.
- lupusreal 2y agoAfter enough time has passed, records and analysis of excavations may be lost and proper archeology just becomes looting again. It's possible this has already happened; for instance in Egypt where ancient people might have dug up far more ancient ruins while properly writing down and cataloging their findings, but those records have been lost to us and we remember them as looters.
