Another fascinating piece of historical investigation indeed... To be sure, technological progress is likely to bring about ever more "historical breakthroughs" in archeology, paleontology, etc. For instance, world-famous French paleontologist Yves Coppens () says that, in the future, it'll be possible to HEAR what our prehistoric ancestors were humming while they carved their cave paintings! How? By using laser technology: the acoustic vibrations of the caveman's humming were transmitted through his/her arm up to his hand and chisel, and, somehow, engraved in his/her frescos... So that, hundreds of thousands of years later, engineers can extract the soundtrack using a laser pencil. Gus () canoe.ca
