My mind began tumbling a scenario:
If I had to choose to witness any moment in history, what would it be?
After thinking of a few events, I realized that all of them were shrouded with some sort of mystery.
My first few thoughts were the creation of Stonehenge, the Black Dahlia murder, and the burning of the Library of Alexandria.
For the most part, I am just so obsessed with events where nobody knows what really happened- who and how built the giant stone structures in England? Why was Elizabeth Short so brutally murdered? What valuable information was potentially lost with the burning down of the Library of Alexandria?
This might be another reason why I want to go into archaeology. Part of the job requires analyzing and mystery; sometimes, you do not know what whatever you're digging up does, or could do, or didn't do, or who used it. Conceptually, searching for an answer using only bits of information is fascinating to me.
