What sorts of discoveries and findings are being made in history today?
Most of them are bout some artifacts that the people in past had or
places that people constructed in other periods of times that they were thought
by the historians, comparing them to the things on that period of time and
their knowledge about that time.
In what ways are these discoveries and findings being made?
Some of them are discovered by historians and paleontologist or
specialized people that had worked during a lot of time to find some things,
and in other discoveries, they are found by normal people, people that had no
clue what they were till they found out by the museums or the specialist
What was unusual about some of the findings discussed in the articles?
That they were discovered by normal people, people who didn’t had a
clue, people who were not a specialist on the history
Every new finding needs to be compared to similar findings that are
already known. ¿Why?
Because it needs to be proved that is real and that is not from other
things, it needs to be putted in a long process to see their similarities with
other things that are known that are truth and their properties, including
their aspect, what material is made of, how much time it has been since it was
created, etc.
Was everyone involved in these findings a professional historian or
scholar? How might you and your friends make similar findings?
No, the 3rd and 5th article are discovered by
normal people, non a professional historian or scholar. And one of the ways we
could find something is by luck, like 2 of the people in the articles did, just
by curiosity or going into a cave that no one has noticed it existed.
What are some of the facts you learned form the articles?
1. That a normal guy can find something very important in history
2. That there have been a lot of things that we didn’t care about and could
be something important to the history
3. That these things need to be examined more carefully
Many of these findings were made at physical sites. What dangers are
historic sites exposed to?
Wars, tornadoes, hurricanes,
earthquakes, constructions, animals step on it, and pretty much every human or
natural disaster close to (or in) that place.
