Exoticizing ancient and foreign cultures is bullshit.

Yeah they believe dtuffthat sounds crazy to you,but they aren't fucking aliens. Having people with actual relevant experience participate in archaeology is essential. Wjenlooking at stonework, bring a mason. When looking at hair, bring a barber. When looking at textiles, bring a seamstress.

When looking at statues of "fertility goddesses", bring a teenage boy. That shit wasn't evidence of a "cult of fertility", it was porn.

That you think there must be a separation of sexuality and religion is a product of your own cultural biases
