Yeah probably but fundings to get research in Indus valley sites in India is meagre as well.

Lol man no wish to be in Africa.

Fuck the funding lol, just grab a shovel and use your credentials

@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) except for the insane white girls

Isn't that kinda sad? How eventually archaeology will be only concerned with maintaining what's been uncovered already.

I am all about medieval Europe dunno if it is gonna be my ruin.

Because there’s so many bureaucratic leaps needed for archeology

YOuhave to start somewhere, and the more local the better IMO

Do they raise funds through donations?

@Deleted User I don't find white women attractive though.

@Deleted User Every research is government funded.

Well most

It’s not like the early 20th century where archeologists were basically legitimized graverobbefs

Save some mini ones of course

@Deleted User Watch me. lol

so do they not allow private donations if they arent getting enough funding?

Yeah I need to be with some retarded organization.

@Deleted User Probably not.

hmmm

@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) I mean that white girls like to go to these dangerous fucking places because “why not”

then they find a shoe with a foot still in it

@Deleted User Define 'dangerous'

Public funding even if enforced will not yield much though. General populace and corporations ain't interested at all.

Filled with allahites @Fitzydog

You know what? Who knows how many artifacts were preserved precisely because they were stolen from the middle east and Africa before they could be smashed by religious zealots?

@Deleted User And then get raped by some Nigerian warlord.

^

@DanielKO that’s a pretty good point

I disagree, I think plenty of people would donate if the research was interesting enough. Even internationally

True that I mean looking at the extent of destroying 2nd century BC artifacts in Afghanistan it is very likely for Muslims to do that.

or the destuction of the buddha statues

@Deleted User International funding, yeah but you are not considering how much of a fuss the government will make in that case.

@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) My military friends tell me horrible stories of seeing ancient greek scultures and buddhist carvings in Afghanistan, and then they're destroyed the next week

because muh allah jihad

It's not really specific to Muslims. Less stable countries are dangerous places for historical artifacts, and works of art.

so shit holes?

Heck, even the Nazis destroyed a bunch of shit they pillaged from museums.

Yeah I guess I dont really know much about the government over there

Yeah there were Indo Greek kingdoms there. Statues of Heracles can be found as east as where I live as well.

Indians were very much inspired by Greek aet
