At the site of Tombos, archaeologists have found that less-affluent laborers may be buried with upper-class people in pyramid tombs.

    For anyone who doesn’t read the article due to the dogshit clickbait headline: they were not built for Pharoah, but in fact built for your mom’s cavernous coochie

          No that’s what you call a group of law enforcement officers.

          A pharoah is a unit of pharoahs numbering in quantities larger than one.

About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more…

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. No pseudoscience/pseudoarchaeology.
