More on: Archaeology

Archaeology is a multidisciplinary field that intersects with various disciplines, including history, anthropology, geography, and the natural sciences. It involves the systematic excavation, preservation, and interpretation of archaeological sites and artifacts to gain insights into past human societies, their beliefs, technologies, and ways of life.

The podcast episodes cover a wide range of archaeological topics, from the search for the legendary Ark of the Covenant ('DEEP DIVE: Arc of the Covenant') to the rediscovery of ancient cities like Pompeii ('The Destruction and Rediscovery of Pompeii') and Machu Picchu ('What is the mysterious city of Machu Picchu?'). The episodes also explore archaeological methods, such as the use of cosmic rays for dating sites ('Cosmic Ray Archaeology in Greece'), as well as the challenges faced by archaeologists, like preserving sites threatened by climate change ('The impact of climate change on archaeology').
