Is there a theory why so many archaeology stories show up on the front page of HN? I'm not complaining (I like reading about the topic), but most of the other frequent topics are stuff that are of pretty obvious interest to the tech-crowd.

Kinda puzzling that the one exception (that I've noticed, anyways) is archaeology.

Having had the opportunity some time ago to visit that area, I'm sure they are referred to as the new developments.

Interesting. What did you think of them? ive always wanted to visit that part of the world
