Something called LIDAR helped archaeologists find
many more buildings than they thought existed.

I actually watched a show yesterday, I think it was, where two men used
LIDAR to x-ray through some tunnel walls under a city where the Knights
Templar supposedly had a stronghold. The city was invaded and they
escaped through the tunnels to the ocean.

This particular wall was bricked up and they wanted to see if
passageways were on the other side of the bricks. Turns out the LIDAR
showed there were several doorways behind the bricked up wall.

Those things are amazing. A whole new way of looking at history. On the everyday practical level, I can see some other uses. Like finding out where that big fish who has been eating all my bait is hiding....




yeah! I watch the show "The Curse of Oak Island" and they believe there
is evidence the Templar's were there, and possibly buried some of their
treasure's there. I'm waiting to see if they eventually find reason to
use the LIDAR in some creative way.
