Geology Archaeology and History

Welcome to "Exploring Earth's Past: Geology, Archaeology, and History " 


Introduction

Welcome to our blog dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of Earth's past through the lenses of geology, archaeology, and history. Join us as we delve into the interconnected stories of our planet's geological formations, ancient civilizations, and the events that shaped human history.


Archaeologist is a study through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The work of an archaeologist is about the invetigation of artifacts, architecture, biofacts, ecofacts,sites and cultural landscapes. These people study human prehistory and history. 

Archaeology originated in 15th and 16th century Europe with the popularity of collecting and Humanism, a type of rational philosophy that held art in high esteem. The inquisitive elite of the Renaissance collected antiquities from ancient Greece and Rome, considering them pieces of art more than historical artifacts.
