Above is a link to my paper about ancestor worship and burial patterns
A wonderfully exciting listen. There are just not very many places in the world where it is possible to drop down into seldom visited buried thousand year old labyrinths of ancient hallways, covered in jungle and with slithering deadly snakes. With drunken parties at night and sometimes working sorta hungover.
Thanks for mentioning the trepidation about being a young person voicing a controversial (reasonable) deduction to an audience of older experienced skeptics.
I hope plenty of undergraduates get to hear your stories and are inspired.
Thanks David! There’s no better reward of my work than inspiring others.
