The landmark of the pyramid in Egypt is traces of living human kind mastering our creator's original universal gifts of life which was lost with time on planet earth.
The Hanging Garden of Babylon and the Colosseum of Rome exposed the traces on the losses of our creator's universal gifts of life for the survival of living human kind on planet earth.

In regards to an Archeaological Protocol. I myself would institute the "AESOP" Protocol: (which I made up all by myself :)

A)nalyze the Data, record facts, prepare for excavation, gather experienced professionals.

E)ducate all individuals involved on the rules, regulations, and policy and consequences of not following those procedures when working on, around, or at the site.

S)ecurity. Employ security specialists to monitor, record, and set up a safety perimiter around the area. No one goes in, or out without clearance.

O)perations. Set up a central base of operations where all the artifacts found can be taken, stored, analyzed, and catalogged with a high level of security.

P)ublish and publicise all significant findings in a journal to benefit the truth and understanding of ancient artifacts, science, and culture. Make this information available to the public, news media, and scientific communities through a website (specifically designed for research on ancient artifacts).

Anyhow.. that's my rough draft idea on how to handle the situation. Thanks for reading.

The issue of a proper protocol for archaeological treasures is complicated. My biggest passion regarding archaeology is ancient texts. On one hand, we are in a race against time to find and preserve these things. Hany many volumes are missing from the Nag Hammadi library because they were used as fuel for an old lady's cooking fire? On the other hand, putting them in a museum isn't always the solution. How many treasures were irretrievably lost when Baghdad's meseum fell into the hands of looters? Sometimes the safest place for ancient things is in the ground where they were left by their makers.

Considering current state of the art imaging technology, what I'd like to see is an immediate and MINUTE visual record made of every artifact as it comes out of the ground. If the clay tablet gets lost, it's too bad but not THAT bad because we have a legible image of it that can be distributed to scholars everywhere.

On his website Nicholas Reeves says the he was prompted to reveal the sites location after what happened at KV-63 where the University of Memphis team apprently did not arrange to have conservators onsite until 10 days after the tomb opening. This may have been due in part to infighting between Doctor Otto Schaden, head if the expedition in Egypt and the department head back at the University in Memphis. I think the SCA should make it a requirement that any group digging in the valley must have qualified conservationists on staff.

Justin Goss, Wheat Ridge, Colorado — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 10:46:43 GMT

I need some information on who I should inform about a tomb my father had discovered back in 1968 while doing research on The Valley of the Kings. Before passing away in January of this year, my father had disclosed information to my family and I about his discovery. He also stated in order to find this tomb, one must go to the far end of the valley and look for a mountain that resembles a dog with pointy ears. Once found a person must climb about 3/4's of the way up the mountain. There will be a small opening in the ground just big enough to crawl through. Which is now I guess covered with dirt and rock from what we were told. He apparently discovered a mummy and several clay or mud type of pots containing rolled up pieces of paper and what he believed was silver coins. My father being the type of man he was, believed that these artifacts should be left alone. But I disagree, they should be found and shown to the world. It is my hope that someone will find this article and inform the proper authorities so that the artifacts can be recovered. I informed our local museum, but was chased off as if I was some kind of nut case. I have tried informing others, but got the same reaction. Can someone pass this information on to the correct person? I have no proof other than what my father had told us. Sorry!

Thanks,

A. Lisa Swift — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 20:49:56 GMT

joe? We do too dig up our own ancestors for various reasons...

Ever heard of Jamestown? Early colonists have been exhumed who have rectified images left by John Smith (among others), who said that the early colonists were basically upper class wastrels who almost caused the colony's failure by their unwillingness to work.

How about the Medici tombs in Italy? The residents of ancient Pompeii and Herculaneum? Christopher Columbus? Etruscan tombs? Stone Age and ancient Celtic barrows? Myriads of other examples abound, including those searching for DNA matches to identify other remains or to establish ancestry for living people.
There is so very much history lost to us by the vagaries of time, lost records, records deliberately destroyed by conquering peoples, etc. The search for knowledge of the past can also be based on the desires of a people to re-establish the pre-eminence of their culture in lost historical periods (Mali, Zimbabwe, etc.).

The more lost history we can fill in, the better! o very much knowledge has been lost or deliberately perverted. (All previous cultures have been derided as uncivilized and primitive by some who would denigrate the accomplishments of quite sophisticated peoples in order to claim superiority for their own culture, based on a clear superiority complex and unweening arrogance.)

Archaeologists today are not insensitive treasure hunters. They are attempting to find out the truth of the past for the edification of present and future peoples.

Armaya, Lewisville. Texas — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:09:16 GMT

Hey guys, FYI i'm fourteen years old, but this is something i think u should know. Learning more about our past will only fill in blanks of long ago, but nothing has been done to help fill in the blanks for tomorrow. Even though there are historical records put in each year, wouldn't it be better to place time time capsules in the ground every fifty years? That way when the Next Generation wants to know about the era between the 1800's and 2500's they will only have to look in the capsules. Or we could tether things to the moon, it's not like things up there will be destroyed any time soon.

I mean the records on a computer chip need only be deleted, or given a large electromagnetic swipe.

Oh, and how will the criminal society react to this discovery. Seems to me like another graverobber story.

Voll, Greenville Indiana — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 13:47:50 GMT

Would some of the opinions here change if the largest, most perfect, and most ancient Pyramids were not really tombs? We've always been taught that all the Pyramids in Egypt are tombs, and Egyptologists have placed their trust in that theory? Isn't a basic tenet of science to keep an open mind? It's only a theory. What if it isn't correct? What if the ancient Egyptians weren't as smart as we've been led to believe? If you have an open mind then read "The 12th Planet" by Zecharia Sitchen before you answer.

To Armaya: Your ideas are original. Never stop asking questions. Computer chips can be developed, may already have been developed, which cannot be erased by electromagnetism. The Moon and the Earth could be wiped out by a few well placed comets sooner than you think. Sometimes people destroy things just for meanness and sometimes because of religious ferver. For instance, we lost the great library at Alexandria and perhaps the keys to many mysteries because of a war long ago.

To All Those who Think it is white Europeans grave robbing, have you considered that every tomb opened including Tutankhamen's was robbed in antiquity? One of the biggest grave robbers, Abdul al-Rasser and clan, worked with Maspero (SCA) during the first part of the 1900's to finally save some of these from local pillagers and robber families such as his own. It is only because of the archaeologists that the Musee de Antiquitee has a lot of what it has today.

Human remains are no more "sacred" than any other object in the ground. Inanimate objects are just that - inanimate objects. If we can glean insight or knowledge by studying bones, beads or rattles why wouldn't we? Does anyone really believe "disturbing the dead" is an issue? Dead is dead. A carcass is a carcass whether human or animal. Voodoo is and idea - not reality.

Gwen VanBrocklyn, Broken Bow, OK — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 07:28:39 GMT

I agree with Voll on both counts. I have researched ancient races, history and their religions for 30 plus years, and everytime I find an answer to a question, three more questions develop.

A. Lisa makes a very sound point. For everything goes in cycles, what we discover of/from the past will aide in our survival in the future. We may not live to see the importance of those discoveries, but what about our children and their children.

Archaeologists all over the world are making discoveries, yet the public hears very little about them, and unless you are within the special circle.. oh, well, the publics' interests are rarely considered. Even if one small artifact gave an impostant clue to the mysterious appearance on the people on earth and their superior technology, would that not be worth the effort? Personally, I think so.

What if: one simple little discover meant saving vast numbers of people or even our planet? Would that be considered important?

When I was younger, mid 50's, TV's were b&w, back before airconditioner, and pyramids were a greater mystery than the younger generation now could even imagine. I tried an experiment with some wire, making a pyramid and placed a small glass of milk in it, it set out in the open with only a net over it to keep bugs out of it, 2 weeks later it was as fresh as the day I started the experiment. I tried it with a sliced sweet potatoe, after 2 weeks I had a very sweet and tender snack. Therefore, there could be a vast amount of knowledge, still to be discovered. Or we can leave it alone and let people destroy it, and they would for their own selfice or fanatical reasons, that my friends, is a proven histroical fact.

The first concept of a leg transplant was in a mural painted in one of the then newly discovered tombs. The comments of the elders was simply: that had to be a fake, just someone trying to make a name for himself. So what discoveries lay in wait?

Though I agree with the Egyptian Archaeologists, if there's something there they should take there time escavating the site.The Pyramids are still a mystery and if they can find out more about them by being careful rather than just dig away, that's the best solution. That civilization built the largest man made structure that lasted that way for 2500 years. How they did it when the rest of mankind were still living in caves and where they got the architectural, engineering and man power skills to achieve it is still unknown. I would like to know how they pulled it off.

No discussion of Tel Armana is complete without understanding that Akhenaten and the Israelite pharaohs (second half of the 18th dynasty) were totally erased from history. Tel Armana was lost to the pharaoh Rameses, who would have erased that history too if he had known where it was. Archaeology at Tel Armana is important because it fills in a huge missing piece of biblical history, the time between Joseph as Wazir of Egypt and the Israelite servitude in Goshen under the 19th dynasty (Ramesses I).

Study history and it's pretty obvious, and yet none of this is recognized by Egyptologists or biblical scholars.

I understand why some would think unearthing the graves, remains, and artifacts of the past would seem barbaric to some. But there is an upside and a downside to everything, and when I think of all we stand to lose by letting the past remain buried--the cultures, the people, art, philosophy, the list is endless--it staggers my imagination. And we would not learn from the human race's past mistakes, either, and that has got to be some invaluable knowledge to have.
And there is just so much we would ultimately not know about ourselves.

And I have to say that ancient Egypt resonates strongly with me, too. I have looked upon Egyptian artifacts--and a mummy--and even just pictures of such, and cried, from a joy and a sadness I cannot explain except within the context that I must have lived then, too. Like I was home.

I am very grateful for we know and are still learning about that culture, as well as all others in our collective past. We are enriched beyond measure. And I think if explore with great respect, handling what--and whom--we find with dignity and tact, I think the dead might very well understand. And maybe even be glad to have made such a difference to us. I know they have to me.

As a future teacher of Western Civilization and lover of Ancient Egypt, I think that they should open the tombs. Today we have such precise and amazing tools that we can explore them and preserve the artifacts and mummies and prevent them from the same damage that happened to my beloved King Tutankhamun. We have hopefully learned from our mistakes and when exhuming the bodies of these individuals we can preserve them for ALL to see.

The artifacts found in Egypt not only belong to Egypt, they belong to the world since all of humanity can trace their roots back to the Middle East. We as one race, should protect and preserve, learn and teach from the artifacts of our past. What was done back then but lost over time, could save and better society today. Our lives are influenced by the past, one of the biggest influences? War. The phalanx? Thank Alexander the Great for that. These people are our ancestors, and like it was said before, to speak the name of the dead gives them immortality. By exhuming the tombs, we are honoring and giving them immortality...even if we butcher their names.
