The chapter delves into the devaluation of experts in the U.S., emphasizing the necessity of expertise, as seen in fields like archaeology and surgery. It also explores the debunking of theories suggesting alien involvement in building ancient structures like pyramids, focusing on human innovation and engineering evolution. Moreover, the conversation transitions to space archaeology, discussing the potential collaboration between archaeologists and planetary scientists to uncover mysteries on celestial bodies like the moon and Mars.
Who really built the pyramids? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice learn about space archaeology, LIDAR, and discovering tombs, pyramids, and new Nazca lines with space archaeologist Sarah Parcak.
