Excavation helps archaeologists recover hidden facts from the past. For example, in August 2014, archaeologists discovered two ancient Mayan cities in the jungles of Mexico. This was an important discovery, considering the rich heritage of Mayan culture. However, many argue that excavation is a destructive process. It destroys part of the data in that site and may hurt religious or cultural sentiments. Do you support this argument? Is excavation helpful or destructive? Should archaeologists choose not to excavate sites of religious importance?
