Archaeology from Space: Howe the Future Shapes Our Past by Sarah Parcak
Archaeology from Space: Howe the Future Shapes Our Past by Sarah Parcak
In Archaeology from Space, Sarah Parcak shows the evolution, major discoveries, and future potential of the young field of satellite archaeology. From surprise advancements after the declassification of spy photography to a new map of the mythologized Egyptian city of Tanis, she shares her field's biggest discoveries, revealing why space archaeology is not only exciting but urgently essential to the preservation of the world's ancient treasures.
Parcak has worked in twelve countries across four continents, using multispectral and high-resolution satellite imagery to identify thousands of previously unknown settlements, roads, fortresses, palaces, tombs, and even potential pyramids. From there, her stories take us back in time and across borders, into the day-to-day lives of ancient humans whose traits and genes we share. And she shows us that if we heed the lessons of the past, we can shape a vibrant future.
