Hell, I don't break the soil periodically to 'reaffirm my status'. I do it because archeology is still the most fun you can have with your pants on. ~ Kent V. Flannery
Archeology quotes by Kent V. Flannery
Invisibility
there are things we can't see now, that are there, that are embedded, that it really takes time in order to be able to see. There are many ghosts that are lurking around and lingering through us that takes the technology of another generation or so in order to uncover and show what those stains and strains and perceived flaws really we're building towards ~ Lynn Hershman Leeson
Archeology quotes by Lynn Hershman Leeson
It was like archeology. There was digging and there was dirt. And there was broken things. ~ Louise Penny
Archeology quotes by Louise Penny
As the archeology of our thought easily shows, man is an invention of recent date. And one perhaps nearing its end. ~ Michel Foucault
Archeology quotes by Michel Foucault
Gunung Padang is not a natural hill but a man-made pyramid and the origins of construction here go back long before the end of the last Ice Age. Since the work is massive even at the deepest levels, and bears witness to the kinds of sophisticated construction skills that were deployed to build the pyramids of Egypt, or the largest megalithic sites of Europe, I can only conclude that we're looking at the work of a lost civilization and a fairly advanced one. ~ Danny Hilman Natawidjaja
Archeology quotes by Danny Hilman Natawidjaja
Profound music leads us beyond language ... to the dark roots of our scream and the celestial heights of our silence. ~ Cornel West
Archeology quotes by Cornel West
Teilhard merely seems to set the problem of man, as the utopian sees it, on lofty heights; yet, hi terminology, which mixes archeology, sociology, biology, astronomy, and a vulgarized theology, can, in fact, be translated at every turn into the language of collectivism and of totalitarian polices. ~ Thomas Molnar
Archeology quotes by Thomas Molnar
SETH said: The natural person is to be found, now, not in the past or in the present, but beneath layers and layers of official beliefs, so you are dealing with an archeology of beliefs to find the person who creates beliefs to begin with. As I have said often, evidence of clairvoyance, telepathy, or whatever, are not eccentric, isolated instances occurring in man's experience, but are representative of natural patterns of everyday behavior that become invisible in your world because of the official picture of behavior and reality. ~ Jane Roberts
Archeology quotes by Jane Roberts
Tedious as it may appear to some to dwell on the discovery of odds and ends that have, no doubt, been thrown away by the owner as rubbish ... yet it is by the study of such trivial details that Archaeology is mainly dependent for determining the date of earthworks ... Next to coins fragments of pottery afford the most reliable of all evidence ... ~ Augustus Pitt Rivers
Archeology quotes by Augustus Pitt Rivers
A landscape fossilized,
It's stone-wall patternings
Repeated before our eyes
In the stone walls of Mayo.
Before I turned to go
He talked about persistence,
A congruence of lives,
How, stubbed and cleared of stones,
His home accrued growth rings
Of iron, flint and bronze
- Belderg ~ Seamus Heaney
Archeology quotes by Seamus Heaney
If you find that you're going through hell, keep moving. You will get to the end eventually. ~ Kimberly Brouillette
Archeology quotes by Kimberly Brouillette
Experience is all I have. I equate song-writing with archeology. Every day you dig. You dig into different places within yourself - even finding places that you've rarely been. And buried within the soil is song. ~ Jon Foreman
Archeology quotes by Jon Foreman
The careful scholarship of the dedicated amateur mycophile R. Gordon Wasson reads like an exciting scientific detective story. Moreover, his willingness to pursue the quest through the wide range of linguistics, archeology, folklore, philology, ethnobotany, plant ecology, human physiology, and prehistory constitutes an object lesson to all holistic professional students of man. ~ Weston La Barre
Archeology quotes by Weston La Barre
The Word does not change. The Dead Sea scrolls, archeology, modern science - they do not change the Bible; they confirm it. ~ Billy Graham
Archeology quotes by Billy Graham
In 1990, I was an undergraduate freshman archeology major sneaking over to the English building and unearthing an amazing repository of books I'd never even suspected. By 1998, I'd have my Ph.D. ~ Stephen Graham Jones
Archeology quotes by Stephen Graham Jones
When someone asks, "What do you do?" don't start with your occupation or family status. Instead, tell them about the "real you" with a spin.
You might say, "Back home I'm run a coffee shop, but on this trip, I'm getting in touch with the part of me who wished she'd studied archeology. ~ Tamela Rich
Archeology quotes by Tamela Rich
The ancient world was fairly modern for its time. ~ Anthony T. Hincks
Archeology quotes by Anthony T. Hincks
We are used to things starting out small and simple and then progressing--evolving--to become ever more complex and sophisticated, so this is naturally what we expect to find on archaeological sites. It upsets our carefully structured ideas of how civilizations should behave, how they should mature and develop, when we are confronted by a case like Göbekli Tepe that starts out perfect at the beginning and then slowly devolves until it is just a pale shadow of its former self. ~ Graham Hancock
Archeology quotes by Graham Hancock
The story of our human lineage is continually enlarged, almost daily, by discoveries from physical anthropology, archeology, and genetics. ~ Richard J. Borden
Archeology quotes by Richard J. Borden
I'll search in mythology and archeology
and in every -ology to my old name.
one of the goddesses of Canaan will side with me,
then swear with a flash of lightning.
This is my orphan son ~ Mahmoud Darwish
Archeology quotes by Mahmoud Darwish
I think [Wine] will be, at a minimum, incredibly useful to archeology, like DosBox has been for playing Wing Commander. Certainly it has been known to save the day with modern titles, too. But to have it as the agreed-upon way to how you play video games on Linux is completely unacceptable for several reasons, both technical and moral. ~ Ryan C. Gordon
Archeology quotes by Ryan C. Gordon
The design of a city is like a strange archeology. ~ Jaime Lerner
Archeology quotes by Jaime Lerner
The reuse of names by later (Maya) kings (of Palenque) is not random, but conforms to a reversed re-ordering. The overall king list suggests a closed system. We hesitate to think that Maya dynasties were predestined to end by themselves . . ~ David Stuart George Stuart
Archeology quotes by David Stuart George Stuart
A walk is exploring surfaces and textures with finger, toe, and - yuck - tongue; standing still and seeing who or what comes by; trying out different forms of locomotion (among them running, marching, high-kicking, galloping, scooting, projectile falling, spinning, and noisy shuffling). It is archeology: exploring the bit of discarded candy wrapper; collecting a fistful of pebbles and a twig and a torn corner of a paperback; swishing dirt back and forth along the ground. It is stopping to admire the murmuring of the breeze in the trees; locating the source of the bird's song; pointing. Pointing! - using the arm to extend one's fallen gaze so someone else can see what you've seen. It is a time of sharing. On our block, ~ Alexandra Horowitz
Archeology quotes by Alexandra Horowitz
Millar Burrows of Yale observes: 'Archeology has in many cases refuted the views of modern critics. It has shown in a number of instances that these views rest on false assumptions and unreal, artificial schemes of historical development. This is a real contribution and not to be minimized.' ~ Millar Burrows
Archeology quotes by Millar Burrows
Dying is easy, beloved. It is living that is difficult. The secret is to live fully, to embrace every instant of existence, beautiful and ugly, blissful and painful. And remember to dance between the worlds, for that is your heritage as a child of the infinite Oneness. ~ Leonide Martin
Archeology quotes by Leonide Martin
It is noteworthy, the researcher further argued, that the inscription on the sword was engraved in the Romanian language, and, consequently, we see that Latin was actually Romanian, and not the invented language that for many centuries has passed for ancient Latin. ~ Vladimir Lorchenkov
Archeology quotes by Vladimir Lorchenkov
You have a lot to learn, young man. Philosophy. Theology. Literature. Poetry. Drama. History. Archeology. Anthropology. Mythology. Music. These are your tools as much as brush and pigment. You cannot be an artist until you are civilized. You cannot be civilized until you learn. To be civilized is to know where you belong in the continuum of our art and your world. To surmount the past, you must know the past. ~ John Logan
Archeology quotes by John Logan
Were I asked to define it, I should reply that archeology is that science which enables us to register and classify our knowledge of the sum of man's achievement in those arts and handicrafts whereby he has, in time past, signalized his passage from barbarism to civilization. ~ Amelia B. Edwards
Archeology quotes by Amelia B. Edwards
Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, [...] came to teach [the ancient inhabitants of Mexico] the benefits of settled agriculture and the skills necessary to build temples. Although this deity is frequently depicted as a serpent, he is more often shown in human form--the serpent being his symbol and his alter ego--and is usually described as "a tall bearded white man" ... "a mysterious person ... a white man with a strong formation of body, broad forehead, large eyes and a flowing beard." Indeed, [...] the attributes and life history of Quetzalcoatl are so human that it is not improbable that he may have been an actual historical character ... the memory of whose benefactions lingered after his death, and whose personality was eventually deified. The same could very well be said of Oannes--and just like Oannes at the head of the Apkallu (likewise depicted as prominently bearded) it seems that Quetzalcoatl traveled with his own brotherhood of sages and magicians. We learn that they arrived in Mexico "from across the sea in a boat that moved by itself without paddles," and that Quetzalcoatl was regarded as having been "the founder of cities, the framer of laws and the teacher of the calendar. ~ Graham Hancock
Archeology quotes by Graham Hancock
Having to accept hominoids as real will require having to acknowledge that the prehuman fossil record is comprised entirely of their bones, rather than ours. ~ Lloyd Pye
Archeology quotes by Lloyd Pye
We have always been taught that navigation is the result of civilization, but modern archeology has demonstrated very clearly that this is not so. ~ Thor Heyerdahl
Archeology quotes by Thor Heyerdahl
I have always been interested in the way that elements of stories twine and combine. At school I had an art teacher, a great influence on me, who disliked man-made objects unless they were old and showed the effects of time and wear; she loved all natural things. I share this attitude and it plays a large part in my writing. I'm fascinated by the ambiguity of man's relationship to the huge, mysterious universe around him; how, on the one hand, we make ourselves little boxes and think to exist safely and snugly in them; on the other, we extend our knowledge further and further into the limitless void; and yet from time to time these opposites collide and produce astonishing results. ~ Joan Aiken

SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY ~ Samuel Noah Kramer
Archeology quotes by Samuel Noah Kramer
A major premise of my fictional novel Noah Primeval is that the gods of the ancient world were real spiritual beings with supernatural powers. Thus, the mythical literature and artistic engravings of the gods that have been uncovered by Mesopotamian archeology reflect a certain amount of factual reality. The twist is that these gods are actually fallen divine angelic beings called "Sons of God" (Bene Elohim) in the Bible. ~ Brian Godawa
Archeology quotes by Brian Godawa
I had this idea that I could hire myself out as a person to go on archeological digs and dig, without any training! I actually wrote to a number of archeology departments and offered up my services. ~ Jennifer Egan
Archeology quotes by Jennifer Egan
An archaeologist is a ghoul with credentials. ~ Robert Shea
Archeology quotes by Robert Shea
I have very interesting hobbies like archeology and photography. ~ Bill Wyman
Archeology quotes by Bill Wyman
We develop all our sciences, archeology, cosmology, psychology, we tabulate and classify and cling to our sacred definitions, our divisions, without any attempt to synthesis, without the humility to see that these are only parts of a total knowledge ... But somehow we ought to be able to keep the idea of the totality of experience and knowledge at the back of our minds even though the front's busy from morning til night with the life cycle of the liver fluke. ~ Maureen Duffy
