Complex question. As archaeologists, we never grave rob (we treat human remains with respect and follow all laws). In terms of age, it varies. According to US law, something that is 50 years old or older can be defined as an archaeology site (in special circumstances), but obviously most sites are much older than that. Thanks for watching!

The same could basically be said about anything, that is presented via pop/mass-media, to the people. Not because ''everyone are dumb'', but because ppl (not surprisingly) just don't have the knowledge of ''say'' thing. So you know what is being said, like a fact, will be twisted, some would be sceptical always, some just misunderstands, etc, etc.. All kinds of variables that make the soup we all have to deal with every day. If we want to or not, it's there.. always. More and more today, especially with this weird not constructive mix, of politics, mental health, ideology, fear, economy + +. So it all becomes a big F-ing mess

One thing I found fascinating in UCL's Egyptology museum was Tutankhamun in Arabic was actually pronounced as "Tut-Ankh-Amun", and then I saw Ankh and it suddenly made a lot more sense than seeing the 11-letter word as a whole

Well the names are made up of syllables with different words. "Ankh" represents/translates to "life". Amun is an ancient Egyptian god. So his name is debated to mean possibly "living image of Amun/Aten" or "he of perfect life is Amun/Aten". His main wife/queen was Ankhesenamun. Another name with both Ankh and Amun. Both names can sometimes have Amun changed to Aten, since the religion shifted around that time to worship Aten rather than Amun as a principal deity. You can find many names like this containing names of gods/goddesses, especially with important people. Meryre contains "Re" or "Ra" the sun god. Translates to "beloved of Re/Ra".

Regarding the line between archaeology and a crime scene, in scotland if you encounter remains you have to call out the police/coroner and if theyre assured its archaeological and not criminal, you can continue excavation, there have been some archaeologists who have been charged for not following this rule, but the charges were dropped as it was clear they were not aware of the rules, especially if they were not expecting burials and had not been advised by the site director. Also to note, bog bodies were initially thought to be crime scenes until it was confirmed they were hundreds/thousands of years old and not decades old. Tollund man in Denmark is a good example
