I realize that Egypt has a lot of sand, which is one thing, but in general I'm always unclear on how archaeological stuff ends up underground. Whether it's a pyramid or an arrowhead or a statue or something else, they always find this stuff by digging. Does dirt really move that much?

Soil builds up with wind and rain, then plants grow. Plants die and turn into soil themselves. Eons pass. |

And plants are a good point. If you have dirt at Z=-3 inches compared to the ancient sidewalk and hoverport, and then the plant grows 12 inches and then dies, you could have dirt/mulch that moves up and over the ancient sidewalk and hoverport. Wind would certainly move dirt around, but it would seem random that it would happen to pile up on the ancient hoverport. It seems like dirt is a zero sum game worldwide other than maybe stuff eroding off rocks. But yeah, I read about places like Troy, and I've been to all sorts of historic places to see ruins, and they're often below ground level. Notre Dame has an old settlement under it, Mesa Verde has settlements that were excavated below ground level, and so on. I guess the other logic is that we only find the ones that ended up underground because the ones that don't get buried either erode away or get carted off by local gypsies.

But roads also can move some too. It doesn't take long for a yard out here next to a county road to need the sprinklers adjusted. |

Your local mountain range is getting shorter every day. Rain, wind, and gravity are sending it down and toward Kansas. Kansas sends doe of it to Missouri. We send it to the Louisiana. With all the great feats of humanity currently happening in Baton Rouge, just imagine what they'll discover poking out of the ground there in 6000 years! We measured a field last spring that shows ~1" of sheet erosion a year. You can't really notice it from year to year, but the tree line at the down hill edge of the property line has a fence in it that had some hand cut stone posts in it. If you pull one of the posts they are roughly 6' tall. I can only see the top 1' of the posts sticking out of the ground. All those years of soil moving 1" a year adds up and we don't even have wind erosion here like they do in the deserts. One of these days I'm going to spend some money and haul it all back up to the top of the hill and let it start over. Hope I find a Pyramid! |
