Anthropologists
are studying many ancient cultures, such as the Maya and the Etruscans. New advances in technology may facilitate
their studies by making it easier to learn what ancient people ate, wore, and even how they died. Some scientists hope that ancient stories may actually be confirmable
, such as the island discovered that may have been the basis for Atlantis. Other scientists hope that the knowledge they learn will be conducive
to humanity's making better choices in the future.
