Scientific intervention is necessary to unearth buried mysteries. Thanks to the invention of devices like CT scanner and others, many archaeological remains, and artifacts have revealed valuable information about the history of our past but there are many unearthed secrets which are yet to be discovered. Scientific intervention allows us to unearth these mysteries so that we can understand our past that shapes our present.

Against

Knowing history is a mandatory part of understanding our present. But we must know our limits while excavating our past. King Tut’s mummy was thoroughly investigated by excavating, examining, scanning, etc. spending tons of money and resources. But the mystery of the boy pharaoh’s death was not discovered. Therefore, we should try to invest our efforts as long it produces the desired results in order to prevent unnecessary losses and cause disturbance to the peaceful life of the community.
