About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

oh its hella old, that's why.

also, the interpretation of the ur-nordic listed on the swedish wiki is basically "if you ruin my rock you are a beta male":

Ärofulla runors rad dolde jag här, mäktiga runor. Rastlös av arghet [d.v.s. perversitet], död genom list skall den bli som bryter detta. Jag spår fördärv.

Ristaren förutspår att minnesmärkets eventuella förstörare ska drabbas av förbannelsen. "Arghet", fornnordiska ergi, betyder 'omanlighet, feghet''.

translated:

"the carver predicts that the one who destroys the stone will be struck the curse of ergi, 'unmanliness', 'cowardice'."
