The Lost One
Again with the bloody Egyptology.
Egyptology isn’t Natural Science, it belonged to Social Science, like archaeology, and therefore don’t require to be falsifiable, don’t need to follow Scientific Method, and therefore not subjected to Peer Review.
When you hypothetically dig up a site, like a city, and find different layers of settlements, like Jericho, Damascus or Uruk, you would find objects that involved different method of say, pottery for instance. The further you dig, the more backward in time you go, where objects are being preserved. So you may different styles of pottery made in different periods, so the new styles are usually more complex than the older styles. You can also learn when they started using fire to create ceramic objects do when they didn’t.
But if you dig deeper, like in Jericho or Damascus, you will find a period when there were no pottery being made.
You don’t need to be scientist to study pottery, like the style and make of vessels of clay. You will need archaeologist who understand pottery painting and understand how to make pottery, fired or un-fired, and you don’t need science to be expert in this area of archaeology.
You will only need science to date objects, but before the invention of radiometric dating, the layers of settlements used stratigraphy to date these settlements and objects found in those periods.
Are you going to be so bloody ignorant that you cannot comprehend that?
