the professor spoke a lot about findings and excavations during this time. Archaeology has always interested me, and I can only imagine the feeling of digging and digging and digging for hours upon end, and finally getting to something that is big - a house such as the House of Ahiel and the house of Bullah.
I never really thought about it, but when the professor mentioned that certain historians are part of a certain organized group that doesn't buy historical artifacts because it makes them lose their authenticity and credibility, it made be realize how much time and effort is really put into placing artifacts and making sure that no history is "made up" by false interpretations.
