Years of research and exploration have lead to some impressive feats of technology being developed. The question is, what is the most magificent and high-tech of devices constructed to help advance our research? Some of the best achievements by far have been made in archeologists' technology. Satellites, Ground Penetrating radar, and Light Detection and Ranging are some of the most important discoveries for explorers, reducing the amount of time it takes to salvage ruins and doing so without having to go on foot.
Archeologists are often portrayed in the media as people who explore dense forests with only a machete, or as people who cross entire deserts on foot. However, archeologists know those methods to be inefficent and have developed new means of exploration. Inventions such as satellites have helped archeologists in their search for ancient civilizations and ruins. Satellites are objects that orbit the Earth, and manmade satellites are objects that can carry information or transmit it to a source on Earth. From the perspective of …show more content…
However, this technology is only useful for historians and permitted treasure hunting is only given to a select few. ''.. today's treasure hunters must obtain permits to investigate historic shipwrecks. Treasure hunters find it difficult to get permission to recover sunken treasure, because the state government usually prefers shipwrecks to be undisturbed.'' (Key, paragraph 11). The Mailbox is only useful for those who are permitted to search for treasure, which is a very miniscule amount of treasure hunters. LIDAR, GPR and satellites can be used by archeologists to uncover massive ruins. The Mailbox can only be used for shipwrecks and underwater objects. Therefore, those technologies are much more efficent and useful than The
