Archeologists Quotes

“I went to a foot specialist recently and she said:
"You've broken a bone, it's healed funny."
"What can you do?"
"Not much."
She strapped me up though and that's the reason my foot is hurting, because the strapping gave me cramp.
When I'm about to die I'm going to head ti a swamp so I topple in when the time comes. In 50,000 years when they dig me up, pretty well preserved, the scientists will have to work out what sort of life I led from my bone structure, teeth and whatnot. Maybe I'll be clutching a Felt record or something to give them a clue. They'll look at my foot and say: "This man broke a bone and it's healed funny." And they'll look at the Felt record, analysing the grooves with a Groove Analyser and they'll say: "He was obviously in an indie band and one day the pressure got too much, and he booted a wall." And they wouldn't be far from the truth, those crazy scientists.”

“«Quando una civiltà è ridotta in polvere e cenere» disse, «l’arte è tutto ciò che rimane. Immagini, parole, musica. Strutture fantasiose. Il pensiero – il pensiero umano, voglio dire – è determinato da esse. Devi ammetterlo».
«Non è esattamente tutto ciò che rimane» disse Crake. «Di questi tempi gli archeologi sono altrettanto interessati alle ossa rosicchiate, ai vecchi mattoni e alla merda fossilizzata. A volte anche più interessati. Credono che il pensiero umano sia determinato anche da questo».”
― Margaret Atwood, Oryx and Crake

“Katika karne iliyopita, wanaakiolojia waligundua mbegu za pamba na ngano katika baadhi ya makaburi waliyokuwa wakiyafukua kwa ajili ya utafiti wao wa kisayansi. Mbegu hizo, zilizokadiriwa kuwa na umri wa kuanzia miaka 2000 hadi 4000, zilimea na kukua zilipopandwa katika udongo sahihi wenye rutuba. Roho ya maisha ilikuwa bado imo ndani ya mbegu hizo, pamoja na kwamba zilikosa mvua na jua kwa zaidi ya miaka 2000.

Huu ni uthibitisho kwamba kama mbegu itapandwa, itamea na kukua kama itapandwa katika udongo sahihi wenye rutuba. Matumizi sahihi, watu ni ardhi na mazingira yetu na kile tunachokifanya baada ya kupanda mbegu ni neno la ukweli ambalo ndani yake kuna kanuni na mafundisho ya Mungu, ndicho kinachoathiri matumizi ya mbegu.”

“When archeologists find our
Skeletons. They won’t
have to question if it was love
or not,
My bones entwined with yours.
Of all the beliefs in the world
They’ll find at least two
That coincided enough to be found
Miles & miles in the dirt.
Bonded to each other
Branched & twisted with joy
Not knowing that moment
would be the last.
Aware that nothing lasts
Forever”
― Kewayne Wadley
