It is interesting to find out that in this specific article there is controversy over the looting of tombs over 5,000 years ago as soon as the deceased were buried there were many more looting acts taken place. The Arab spring is an important landmark to think of when relating this to the reading.
This describes human characteristics that defined this region because it shows how ancient artifacts are being unearthed through new-age technology.
Space archaeology only makes sense. If we have the capability for satellites to take pictures of earth from above why shouldn't it be used for archaeological analysis? I am sure that this is only the tip of the iceberg as far as what we will see in the future from this specific field. This article/video just lends more credibility to the fact that Archaeology should function as an interdisciplinary field.
