can´t read a archeological book without finding the word mysterious in it or a mystery a scientist should never use that word – he should use unknown instead.

if you read a archeological book these days you never escape the word mystery or mysterious. as if the autor tries to blaze the story with an attitude of amazement to enhance the interest of the reader. or to keep the reader going on his tale. certainly you may be right with that attitude when your major goal is to entertain your audience. but when your goal or aim is to be a scientist than my friend we have a whole new different view to that issue. a scientist should never be considered to entertain the audience or the reader. and much more to blame is the authors attitude to cloud the issue with the word mystery, mysterious, secrets of an ancient society and similar words. the aim of a scientist is always and should always be to create clearity. that means explain the issue with only a few word as far as the author has knowledge of that issue.

you will ask me now, but what if the author has not full knowledge of the issue and has still many questions about that subject that he cannot answer. than my answer will be the same again. the task of a scientist is to create clearity in every circumstance. if he has not full knowledge of a subject, wich is understandable by the issue a scientist usually deals with, and in our case archeology and anthropology or even palaeontology, much more difficult than other sciences wich can be created or recreated in laboratory experiment, in our case not likely possible, since we can assume how it was years ago and not really experimentally recreate history. but let´s don´t divert from our major goal what to write when we have not full knowledge of the issue. the answer is as i said simple. you either don´t write about the subject or in case you have fragmented knowledge some findings you want to share with the community you use just a different phrase to explain your gap of knowledge to invite the scientific society to dispute over the gaps and findings to, in a hypothetical way, try and nothing more than try, to recreate that isssue as you can. always in the knowledge that your findings are not complete.

we don´t know and we will never find out is much better than that will remain a mystery to us or a mysterious society or the secrets of that society remain a mystery to us.

first of all that society has no secrets to us. in order to have a secrets you have to have the intend to have a secret that you possess and of wich you will be very jealous to protect against others who will find out that hidden issue that secret. almost all issues in archeology wich is unknown to us are not secrets. that societies collapsed or have been destroyed by another bigger force or just desolved because the river, wich is the most likely civilization point in the past, moved it´s course and the people living formerly next to the river left the living point and left back what couldn´t be carried with them. we see that remains than when we make a excavation. or in a war conflict the society has been destroyed and again we found the remains of that society. now we try to make a sence of the remains try to recreate that society by the foundings we have and what has remained under the earth in that thousands of years. but we have not a secret nor do we have a mystery. we just have many unknown points in that society that makes us difficult to recreate that ancient society as we would recreate our society of today in words. where we have the material aspect preserved and we have even the people in their daily life we can analyse and watch. two things we lack when we analyse ancient societies. two major things by the way. we don´t have all the material findings or possessions of that society in one spot or at all we don´t know what material artefact we don´t possess and we cannot and never will be able to see the ancient society in their daily life. in their behaviour among themselfes and against other societies.

many unknowns many we don´t knows and possible will not be able to find outs against the mystery word wich can be found out in every book so far. and even regarding ancient religious ceremonies and traditions who kept a secret from their peers of their own society we can speculate without using the word mystery or mysterious. a simple the clerics of that society kept their ceremonials secret from the outsiders of their own nation and foreign nations is sufficiant explanation, you can continue with the dissolvement of that society the knowledge of the ceremonials and traditions have not been past to the next generations scriptures are not available because they have not been written down or they got destroyed in war or under the earth during the years are enough word to explain the issue without clouding it with a metaphysical word. and so we do justice to the everlasting goal of science to create clearity and avoid everything that clouds that issue we are searching off.
