Finds From Archaeological Dig Were Deliberately Hidden From The Public, Says Man Who Participated In The Excavations
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Who should have the authority to decide which archaeological finds people are entitled to learn about?
Just as no one is above the law, everyone deserves the right to explore our ancient past, regardless of archaeological discoveries. The history of our planet and humanity is a shared heritage.
Unfortunately, there have been instances where significant archaeological finds have been quietly ignored, conveniently misplaced, or even destroyed. When delving into ancient mysteries, we often uncover captivating stories—some inspiring awe and curiosity and others disappointing or angering us. Today's discovery falls into the latter category.
The following story is about a brave individual who came forward in an interview with independent television to recount his involvement in an excavation that uncovered several controversial finds.
Residents of the small village near the excavation site were threatened and instructed not to disclose what had been found. These artifacts were swiftly removed from public view and taken to a secret location. As an elderly man now, he felt compelled to share his story so that this event would not be forgotten.
This account underscores why we must advocate for archaeological transparency—ensuring that such discoveries are preserved for public knowledge rather than hidden away or erased from history's pages.
