Spanish missionaries deemed Lyobaa to be a "back door to hell" and sealed all entrances.

      They aren’t digging for now. It’s a geophysical survey. It will be difficult to access the temple because there’s a church on top of it and the main entrance is likely under the church’s altar.

          Sometimes I feel like we live in Sanctuary. I guess we will find out.

        This is pretty common for churches. A lot are built on older sacred places which makes it hard to study early cultures. It’s always exciting when we can get at those things as a lot of the cases the churches have high heritage values themselves. :)

          In this case, built on an older sacred place to erase the original sacred place from existence. Except a few hundred years later, they failed.

            As is usually the case, for location choice. A religious kind of imperialism.

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.
