  • There are millions of people around the world who would love close up and personal access to the greatest moments in history. Alas, the world simply doesn’t work like that. If we could grant everybody access to ancient relics, though, we would make serious breakthroughs.

    Instead of a select group of archaeologists who simply don’t have enough hours in the day, we could have a massive army of people willing to devote their time and energy to the small tasks that the museums and universities simply cannot tackle.

    It will change the face of archaeology as we know it and make history open source. It’s a wonderful prospect.
