Sarah Parcak : Help discover ancient ruins — before it's too late (transcript)
Summary
In the dictionary, archaeology is the study of human history and prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analysis of artifacts and other physical remains.
Then the speaker tells us that the more important essence is what you can prove possible than what you find.
Excavation of the remains teaches you not only the past but also the present. The history is human ingenuity and brilliance, because it may be cyclical. To acknowledge that the past people existed and lived lives worth learning about leads us to acknowledging all human beings.
 Nowadays, a lot of sites are looting by economic issues. If we do nothing to stop it, all of Egypt's sites will be affected by looting by 2040. If now, we try to do it, sites can surprisingly show its resilience.
This TED talk that had extreme potential awarded the 2016 TED prize.
