Odisseo: can't understand the link between archeology and religion.

You mean have opinions of archeology studies about religion? Are you interested about a particular religion? Maybe I can answer about Europeans ancient and modern, a bit of far east/islam, very few about americans


Archeology and religion are relative to each other

mollybaby: There is

But the archaeology based on the ancient people's spiritual beliefs is actually the most interesting.

Archeology is the scientific study of past human culture and behavior, from the origins of humans to the present and Religion is not based on science.

The spiritual life of ancient people is an important part of their culture, of their past although: Does that spiritual life makes a religion?
Yet the archeologists' belief (religion) can influence the development of the archeological investigations.

Yes my friend, they can be relative or not.
If I would, I could publish a study focusing just on economic/architectural aspects of a site, leaving the religion behind. Or you can study pottery just for its social aspects.
Religion is a part of human beavior but it's not the only one, an huge amount of aspects leaded by religion but if you want, you can study roman's baths just in more practical way (like romans was) leaving out the cult.
Or you can study a roman home, focusing both on architectural issues and the lararium.

If the main meaning of the topic is "can archeology explain religion"
no, archeology can describe it but cannot give you any answers about, this is just fantasy:)

Just another qtn sad flower

No disrespect intended to any religion scold just trying to get s/thing sorted that's been in my head for many many moons.

Would it/is it be ok with religeons to dig up ancient red indians, ancient black indians, ancient aborigines, ancient chinese etc?

I'm not talking about artifacts or buildings just human remains.

After 2thousand years ago ... or 2billion years ago...

Just using this one for example.. "egyptians" ... again not being disrespectful scold just trying to learn professor

Ok conversing ... Egyptians built pyrimids with all different sorts of techniques. chambers to bury their dead with all different philophisies so that they can go into their after lives in the way that they believed in (their religion) sun gods,moon gods whatever...

I really don't know if i'm right or wrong dunno maybe i have missed summin dunno

Those peeps (JMO ONLY) were buried with the stuff that they were buried with because of what they believed in and would want to believe that they were going to a better place because of their religious beliefs etc angel confused

Egyptians was only an example conversing ...

I can understand why peeps would want to dig up treasures,buildings and relics etc.. (greed)... ok and studies roll eyes

Those peeps that are dead and waiting in line for the promised land etc and were buried the way that they were... angel ...

eg: tu tu carmen, miss titties etc...


These peeps and their religion have been farked over JMO ONLY ... They wanted to be left alone to go to where they were supposed to ...

But f@ckers want to keep digging them up for history,money,glory or whatever...


We can go on about other peeps getting dug up for history or profit ... but time is waisting laugh


If you are an archeoligist and religious ... suk my sun dial. Money and fame is all yooz are after .......

Religious Archeology
Shouldn’t we let those death people rest in pace?
Perhaps, we should when the purpose is greed and to justify religion but an important point is missing here.

Archeology, Anthropology, and many others with "o..logic" should be focusing in understanding the past of humanity and its relationship with the world at those times.
What for?
So we learn how ancient civilizations lived and perhaps understanding how some ancient cultures disappear and they did disappear in different places of earth.

I suppose, one of the most important humanity’s goals should be to preserve humanity.

How can religion exist if there are not humans in earth (or in any other planet)?

AH! but religion(any) just wants, loves...the ones from that religion, with some exceptions.

It depends how and why it is done.

Yes, there are grave-robbers who are in it for the money.

But humans are by nature curious, especially curious about humankind and its origins.

It is only natural to want to know what kind of lives our ancestors lived.

And it is only through archaeology we can do this.

Modern archaeology is not as invasive as it used to be, not as destructive.

It is only by understanding the past that we can understand the present, and improve the future.

How do civilisations die?

At their peak of reason and success they become too clever for their own good and analyse themselves to death leaving only the thick behind. The hubris of intellect destroys itself and the thick keep on breeding, literacy declines, and the degenerating idiocracy of posterity, exhausted by the heavy burden of democracy and freedom and lacking the discipline to reform themselves, appoint a Caesar to rule over them which is the final stage of civilisation.

Religious rule, then Democracy and/or rationalism, followed by Caesar. That's the pattern of all the great civilisations.
