Krista at Melbourne Museum with a canoe from Lihir Island, Papua New Guinea What is a mystery or relic from the past you would like to see discovered? Why do you think the study of archaeology is important in today's world? If it st ill exists, I would say definitely the Ark of the Covenant. I have watched many documentaries on this and read a lot of books, and have some personal theories on it too, so maybe that will be my quest later in life... With newer technology in this field we are closer to finding the truth about so many unanswered questions. We really have just scraped the surface literally. The more we know about our past, the more it will enrich our current lives and our purpose in life as human beings. @KristaVendy
