Scientists Have an Audacious Plan to Map the Ancient World Before It Disappears

Buried civilizations could soon become inaccessible forever. Archaeologists have to move fast, so they’re turning to the latest ground-scanning tech.
Lawrence B. Conyers pushes a small groundpenetrating radar system over grass.
Technologies such ground-penetrating radar allow archaeologists to peer down into the past without lifting a shovel.PHOTOGRAPH: JIMENA PECK
 

IN THE CENTER of Siena, Italy, a cathedral has stood for nearly 800 years. A black-and-white layer cake of heavy stone, fine-cut statuary, and rich mosaics, the imposing structure—now visited by more than a million tourists each year—would seem to be a permanent fixture of the city’s past, present, and future. Most people call it, simply, “the cathedral.” But Stefano Campana, a 53-year-old archaeologist at the University of Siena, calls it something else: “the church that is visible now.”

Wyam city, Oregon, USA was founded 13,000 years ago. The founding of this city supports the Bering Route Theory. Paleolithic Amerindians are nomads, but they will eventually establish a large community in NW Pacific Coast region before resuming their migration southward or eastward. The accepted theory so far is that the Amerindians arrived in the Americas 20,000 plus years ago which suggest that an earlier city may have been establish along the way and possibly be located higher up in the Washington state or western Canada however the continental glacier may have deterred any earlier attempt. The list of cities above is informative however Archaeologist will eventually find more cities in between and therefore connecting more dots from North America to South America. The long-held belief that the first pre-Columbian city was established in Caral, Peru was astounding at the time.  Caral would only come to existence several thousand years later. By then population were increasing and expanding throughout the Americas and Caral was one of the pinnacle examples of that growth. I am actually not sure if Wyam is considered a city by definition. Cahokia and Chillicothe in the US were much larger in comparison to Wyam. Cholula in Mexico is the oldest continually inhabited city in the Americas.

Meyer Falcón was on site to hand over the finished project to the the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), who is in charge of the archaeological zones.

“The new access to the archaeological zone of Tulum is now ready and improves the experience of those who visit this historic space. It is a more decent entrance, more environmentally friendly,” Meyer Falcón said.

The new Archaeological Zone of Tulum entrance is located within the Jaguar Park. The Sedatur head said the new facility will have a greater capacity to serve visitors. He also said that other spaces have been built in the Park such as a viewpoint and beach access.

“Another space that we built in Parque Del Jaguar is an access module in which we include offices for the colleagues of INAH and a visitor rest area. A viewpoint that facilitates access to the beaches of Tulum is another element that we built in Parque Del Jaguar,” he explained.

Meyer Falcón says they are still working on the five-kilometer connectivity section between the Jaguar National Park and the Maya Train station in Tulum. He says there will be a direct entrance to the area, which passes through the 300 hectares of the old airfield, which is currently being reforested and illuminated.

Tulum, Q.R. — The new museum of the archaeological zone of Tulum, being built by the Secretariat of Agrarian, Territorial and Urban Development (Sedatu) within the Jaguar National Park, is 80 percent complete, the agency reported.

According to information released by Sedatu, the zone will expose the influence of the Mayan culture with the aim of detonating local tourism. It will house archaeological monuments and natural and cultural wealth of federal reserves, through low-impact tourism.

The property has a conservative architectural style with classic lines. Those in charge of the design are the C733 Architecture Collective, Sedatu reported.

In addition, it has three exhibition rooms and will have 360 collection pieces. Those in charge of carrying out the curatorship are Juan Manuel Garibay and Karina Romero Blanco.

Sedatu indicated that in order to facilitate the arrival of visitors, the property will have a Maya Train connection with a Tulum on section 5 south, and will also interconnect with the archaeological zone through a 70-meter bridge over the federal 307 highway.

The new museum is around 80 percent finished. Photo: Sedatu January 2024.

The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) will be administrators of the new building.

It is estimated that this site, which is located in front of the main entrance to the archaeological zone of Tulum, will officially open to the public in February or March 2024.
