Can I just say that it is fantastic that they have included so many detailed pictures of the obelisk. How many times have you visited an article about a discovery only to have no pictures in the article.

I read this comment before clicking, and half expected it to be sarcasm exactly because of how common that is

I haven't opened the article yet, since I usually check the top comments to see if it's worth the click, but my first thought when clicking through to the comments was, "this damn article better have pictures for once".

My first exact same thoughts. Every time there is some interesting discovery it’s often with only a single photo or none and a huge wall of text. Pictures speak louder than words in this case.

I kept scrolling though multiple articles as they seem to have a format type for these types of articles where its numbers a small paragraph and a high quality photo. Simply love it.

I'd actually have appreciated photos of the discovery as it happened. This obelisk is mounted upright. Even a picture of it being mounted, a crane and straps included.

Is this good archaeology? I worry it might be something else.
