Salaam, I’m Talib, an archaeologist. My job is to dig up the past. I work in the desert, in old cities, in places no one has touched for thousands of years. I use a small brush. I go slowly. One wrong move and history is gone. I’ve found pottery, coins, tools. Things people used every day. This tells us how they lived, what they ate, what they believed. The past isn’t dead. It’s under our feet. I want you to be curious. Ask questions. Visit museums. Because when we know where we came from, we understand who we are.
