Comment on Hiring tech lead to help solve major historical puzzle

Would I be reading into the timing too much, if I noted the timing of this post and how recently Ancient Apocalypse aired (and subsequent Rogan appearance)?

Perhaps specifically, trying to make sense of the data from the Sundeland (Indonesia) hilltop:

Or recent unearthings in Turkey such as Karahan Tepe:

"We have the technology" to make sense (specifically, to make 3D models) of old and emerging underground sensing techniques, but haven't pulled something cohesive and coherent together yet.

Such a tool could then be applied to these and more sites around the planet which at present are still painstakingly investigated using techniques from the 1800s one toothbrush at a time.

That was my first thought as qell, especially with the rewriting history part. It is a fascinating topic in any case.
