    I thought they meant The Luxor in Las Vegas, and was really surprised.

        I mean, I wasn’t actually confused, but I did think of the casino first.

          Man, if they unearthed that river ride and restored it, I’d be there in a heartbeat.

            I saw it but never rode it. Looked boring.

            Circus circus was my favourite.

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.
