My mind is just fascinated with the idea of discovering something that will change how we understand ourselves in the cosmos. But I think the biggest surprise will be not finding anything at all.
I am happy that you enjoy archeology. This is also one of my favorite subjects. It is interesting that our ancestors were basically walking around with the same brain that we now use to build machines to go into space. Astonishing!
Thank you for reading!
And... that's what Eliot's verses mean!
