Say it ain’t so, Indy !
Archaeologists have discovered seventeen new pyramids in Egypt.
Not this kind of archaeologist:
No – SPACE ARCHAEOLOGISTS !
Using satellites and infra red imaging, a team of space archaeologists have located the new pyramids, along with 1000 tombs and 3000 heretofore undiscovered settlement, the BBC reports. The work has been pioneered at the University of Alabama at Birmingham by US Egyptologist Dr Sarah Parcak. Dr. Parcak closed an era when she said “Indiana Jones is old school, we’ve moved on from Indy. Sorry, Harrison Ford.”
BBC One will broadcast the television special on May 30th.
But now that you won’t have to waste time digging up the backyard to locate ancient cities, you may have time to come to the ASSET summer workshops at Cornell. Check it out here.
