Archaeology buffs, what places would you like to see excavated that are currently not possible?

The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. I think the terra cotta soldiers are awesome, and I’d like to see what else is there, if they can ever figure out how to do it safely.

Well, I didn’t mean archaeological things. Not exclusively.

“Quiet” was on the list.

Another vote for the Temple Mount.

All of Adams County, Mississippi. What did the Natchez leave behind?

Seems like if you could get close enough, one of these might come in handy.

I had this confirmed by one of the leaders of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, who just happened to be a tourist in SF.

Never heard of her. Why not just ask her to stand up?

just a trace:p

I’m guessing there’s a lot of human history that’s along former coastlines that are now underwater.

I have been given to understand that it is a meteorite.

The Indian mounds in southern Ohio.

Lots of places in Iraq and Afghanistan.
ETA: And Syria.

Oak Island.

(Ducks and runs.)

I’d love to see the Noah’s Ark on Mt Ararat story concluded one way or another. I’m sick of blurry satellite images. Time for some feet on the ground!

A large part of the Black Sea bed.

The water is anoxic, which means things are remarkably well preserved. There is evidence of human settlement from 5600BC

Second vote for tumulus of Qin Shi Huangdi.
