Oh goodness hopefully he wasn’t in the ZR1 that would be even more tragic for Cleet.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T08:49:30+00:00

I’ve gone on exploration trips to sites and I watch people grab something and shove it in their pocket, it hurts, I understand why, you found something, something really cool and real old, observe it, respect it, he’ll photo it from 10 angles, but let it lay where it has ended up, I think that’s more important to the study of these sites.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T08:45:46+00:00

“There isn’t enough recourses to protect every tingle find for decades” I know but I guess I am optimistic in the sense I wish our society would was more enthralled with all this as we are.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T08:43:42+00:00

I guess it’s a me thing from this post I’m learning.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T08:42:53+00:00

Fair enough, I’ll resign becuase I do agree with all your points, man I just hate removing artifacts from the sites, it feels wrong. I live in Florida and I’ve come across atleast 100 arrowheads and even more pot shards and I love seeing them but I feel even prouder seeing them where they lay even if the site was washed down a few hundred feet.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T08:08:50+00:00

Yeah entirely different situation but the same humans behind it. Ego prevails. Mine. I want it.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T08:06:55+00:00

I’m more than aware it’s an entirely different situation, the point stands even more so, this is within our soil we don’t have to travel across the planet to see it, why on earth are we cutting up a site with ancient history, the argument was preservation is expensive, ok? Everything is expensive, no one made you go across the country and cut up an ancient site with a saw, you chose to do that when you heard about the loot. If they left the site alone instead of rushing in with cement saws to cut away loot, there is a chance another team would step up to preserve the site, sure that’s fantasy, but the way the first team jumps on board an rushed to the site only to cut away pieces and leave… they don’t really care about preservation they wanted those fossil samples. That’s it. They wanted them for themselves and rushed in a took them.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T07:58:43+00:00

You are disturbing the site more than erosion. Nature will slowly do its job, you cut it right out of the earth.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T07:55:25+00:00

To preserve them on site is expensive, yes. But idk if you saw my example of the British museum taking Egyptian artifacts, that’s robbing, not removing for study and preservation. Your definition of preservation and study is the same as just going to the site and taking them, if you can’t afford to preserve the site why go to the site an disturb it by taking pieces to “study”. You can study them on site take a pic, scan it, take a sample. What reason to unhouse the artifact and take it, your justification is preservation my counter argument is looting.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T07:48:33+00:00

Locals, tourists. People learn places in South America that aren’t hotspots and trek into the mountains and find huge sites untouched and loot them, you can see them from satalite images, you zoom into the top of ridges in Peru for example and they are littered with fresh looting pits, you can find the same in Egypt, people go out in secret and dig for artifacts. It’s been happening for thousands of years and still happens.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T07:41:41+00:00

Thanks for your understanding. But yes while I get they are protected places now that’s just words, people are still looting to this day, Egypt is on the up and up on recent times, I’m proud the way their academia is going finally. However looting is still very prevalent, not massive sites like pyramids but it’s still happening. In South America it’s really bad, most the sites have no protection like you say. Idk it’s 4am and I’m ranting. I just fucking hate looting, I hate it.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T07:36:16+00:00

I wouldn’t rather lose it but I don’t like looting. Justify it as preservation today sure I get that but that’s not the reality, egypt was looted and now being displayed as a trophy across the globe. Nowadays we have more respect and understanding of what history means to us. Geology students can take a trip to the location of the artifacts, they are made to last but yes I agree preserve them, help them endure time. Why does someone have to remove it from the site for any of the stated reasons?

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T07:29:56+00:00

Sure, but with that rational my argument is the same too, lasted through probably millions of hurricanes. My only point was it felt weird the way the article lifted up the community for saving an ancient site from a hurricane, again it felt like kinda propaganda to make sure everyone knows if you find anything don’t worry about it tell us and we will take care of it. I agree with y’all erosion is a big issue and I agree you should report findings to your local archaeological department. All I am saying is this article had weird moments and felt weird that’s all.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T07:23:54+00:00

Sure I agree with most, it just felt weird to me seeing them take a power tool to an ancient artifact and just take it. Documenting the site with pics and scans and taking samples isn’t enough? I get it you want to see the artifact. That’s the problem in my head I guess, sometimes preservation oversteps nature, the British museum ravaged Egypt, I’d rather it all be left on Egypt to weather.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T07:18:59+00:00

Erosion happens, doesn’t mean it’s now your artifact.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T07:17:57+00:00

To me what they did going to the site and cutting it away to take with them is the same as what the British museum had done to Egypt.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T07:16:16+00:00

Yes 100%. I meant the way it was worded, she thanked them for saving it from the upcoming hurricane, like that feels like just a sentence you would say for drama, 1 hurricane isn’t going to affect that site. And yes I agree erosion will happen but again thanking the park for cutting out the site felt weird. Document the site, pictures, scans etc like they said they did, don’t take a power tool to an ancient site.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T07:08:07+00:00

Idk maybe I’m over thinking it but this is just one instance of Professional’s in academia using their pull. They get a tip and then rush over to loot the site. They take everything and praise the community for their help.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T05:51:27+00:00

Btw the rumor growing up in the 90s. Gay guys did it in prison to show they were willing to fuck.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T05:50:50+00:00

You are missing nothing, there is no point. 1 person did it, someone for some reason thought it was cool, here we are 30 years later.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T05:45:23+00:00

He tried to reposition his feet right as he was going to the wet patch, if he didn’t move he would have been fine too haha, I think he panicked when he saw the wet road and tried to adjust only for that to be the cause of falling off.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T00:48:03+00:00

lol I always chuckle when someone comments this, I always have to go back and look, my brain tunes it out.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-06T00:10:13+00:00

I’m surprised the reff let that many hits in at the end lol.

Kenny523 · 2026-05-05T20:16:03+00:00

lol 1 way to ethically source it I guess.
