This chapter advocates for supporting funding for archaeology and history programs to prevent the removal of ancient languages like Latin, ancient Greek, Sanskrit, and Hebrew from university curriculums. The speakers highlight the importance of research in humanities and historical disciplines despite budgetary challenges. They delve into the significance of studying past societies, combatting looting of archaeological sites, and promoting civil discourse among different perspectives in the field.
