This piece of film was so mesmerizing in its bits of floral beauty, interspaced with magnificent works of art once hidden in the earth and brought back to life by men & women called archaeologist yet i call them magicians for they make these wonders of art to reappear for all to see what ancient people were capable of achieving with simple tools and a hugh amount of patience. This “patience” as we call it, this state of being combined with an abundance of “time” created these marvelous works. We seemed to have lost this power that they had to create and display in their time and for us to marvel at in ours . this film left me hungry for more. Once more , I have become addicted. I want to see more and feel more and I hope you will continue this excavation for I believe you have accomplished the impossible. bringing the ancient past into the starving present. you have what the ancients had, Patience.
Thanks a lot for the compliments…We all work hard for this site since it is our passion. It still has lots of secrets that will definitely impress us all in the forseeable future…
As I watched, entered, this marvelous video I realized my breathing was slowing down and I experienced such a sense of wonder and awe. The captivating voice, music, images and sunlight worked together into a feeling I’ll never forget.
As a budding archaeology student, experiencing this film made me remember why I have always loved archaeology in the first place. Learning the theories, physical and cultural sciences and techniques is essential-yet so is the felt experience, the imagination, the delight of participation in the past-and dare I say it? The Romance!! Absolutely delicious!! I have a sense that this film is, even now, contributing to the possibilities of my own archaeological voice. Thank you for illustrating your passion in such a complete way-hard work, sound, nature, art, science, beauty, history, its all there in your interpretation. Thank you
