Archeology Quotes

• Millar Burrows, de Yale, observa: La arqueología ha refutado en muchos casos las opiniones de los críticos modernos. En muchos casos ha demostrado que estas opiniones se basan en suposiciones falsas y en esquemas irreales y artificiales del desarrollo histórico. Se trata de una contribución real que no debe minimizarse".

• Tengo entendido que muchas de las "vasijas" del gran museo de Bagdad, que permitimos que saquearan y luego destriparan, están ahora a la venta al mejor postor en el mercado negro del arte y la arqueología. Esto es capitalismo del bueno, supongo, mientras que un museo, al ser un bien público y accesible a todos, es anticapitalista, casi socialista de hecho.

• We still have to realize that if you are say a historian of the Civil War, you don’t know anything special about say Columbus or for that matter the 20th century. You are a consumer of that information, especially if it’s stuff like Columbus and the American Indians. That information isn’t even in history, much of it. Much of it is in anthropology or archeology.

• Music at its best...is the grand archeology into and transfiguration of our guttural cry, the great human effort to grasp in time our deepest passions and yearnings as prisoners of time. Profound music leads us--beyond language--to the dark roots of our scream and the celestial heights of our silence.

  Cornel West

• Tienes mucho que aprender, jovencito. Filosofía. Teología. Literatura. Poesía. Teatro. Historia. Arqueología. Antropología. Mitología. La música. Estas son tus herramientas tanto como el pincel y el pigmento. No puedes ser un artista hasta que seas civilizado. No puedes ser civilizado hasta que aprendas. Ser civilizado es saber cuál es tu lugar en la continuidad de nuestro arte y de tu mundo. Para superar el pasado, debes conocer el pasado.

• We develop all our sciences, archeology, cosmology, psychology, we tabulate and classify and cling to our sacred definitions, our divisions, without any attempt to synthesis, without the humility to see that these are only parts of a total knowledge. ... But somehow we ought to be able to keep the idea of the totality of experience and knowledge at the back of our minds even though the front's busy from morning til night with the life cycle of the liver fluke.

• Experience is all I have. I equate song-writing with archeology. Every day you dig. You dig into different places within yourself - even finding places that you've rarely been. And buried within the soil is song.

• I think [Wine] will be, at a minimum, incredibly useful to archeology, like DosBox has been for playing Wing Commander. Certainly it has been known to save the day with modern titles, too. But to have it as the agreed-upon way to how you play video games on Linux is completely unacceptable for several reasons, both technical and moral.

• La cuidadosa erudición del dedicado micófilo aficionado R. Gordon Wasson se lee como una apasionante historia de detectives científicos. Además, su voluntad de proseguir la búsqueda a través del amplio abanico de la lingüística, la arqueología, el folclore, la filología, la etnobotánica, la ecología vegetal, la fisiología humana y la prehistoria constituye una lección objetiva para todos los estudiantes profesionales holísticos del hombre.

• SETH said: The natural person is to be found, now, not in the past or in the present, but beneath layers and layers of official beliefs, so you are dealing with an archeology of beliefs to find the person who creates beliefs to begin with. As I have said often, evidence of clairvoyance, telepathy, or whatever, are not eccentric, isolated instances occurring in man's experience, but are representative of natural patterns of everyday behavior that become invisible in your world because of the official picture of behavior and reality.
