The space archeology we are talking about here is not an "archaeology" of materials in the universe, but a science that uses aviation or aerospace data to analyze satellite images to find ancient human features or ruins on the earth. The author of this book, a super cool space archaeologist, combines human history and future technology from a very interesting perspective. Starting from the public's curiosity about the profession of space archaeologists, he changes the historical period of 1944 AD-1944 BCE and proposes how we should start from now on the premise of being full of firm hope for the future. As an archaeologist, she has worked on remote sensing projects in 12 countries and 4 continents, identifying thousands of potential archaeological sites using multispectral and high-resolution satellite image analysis. These include previously unknown settlements, roads, fortresses, palaces, tombs and even potential pyramids. She currently works primarily on crowdsourcing maps of ancient civilizations in Peru and India. In this book, the authors describe the field's evolution, major discoveries, and future potential. After decoding spy photography techniques, she shares her findings in the field on a new map of Egypt's mysterious city of Tanis, revealing why space archeology is not only exciting, but vital to preserving the world's ancient treasures for future generations. The story takes readers back in time, across borders, and back into the daily lives of ancient humans who demonstrated courage and wisdom over thousands of years.
