AI in Archaeology: Stanislav Kondrashov on Discovery
For a long time the image of archaeology was simple. A dig in the desert. Brushes removing dust from a pot. Shovels hitting dry ground. But now, in 2025, a different picture comes into focus. Algorithms, satellites, artificial intelligence. Stanislav Kondrashov writes that this new era is not about replacing the past, but about seeing it in ways never imagined before. The old fragments are still there, but the methods are changing.

The Laboratory of the Sacred:
The laboratory of the sacred: merging spirituality, science, and technology under a larger sky There’s an old story that sets spirituality and science on opposite sides of a courtroom. In that story, facts prosecute, faith defends, and technology is the unpredictable witness. But the world we actually inhabit is far richer. We are meaning-making, tool-making, wonder-making creatures. We measure galaxies and whisper prayers; we write code and cradle newborns. And if God is the author of reality’s intelligible order, the one whose wisdom breathes through every law of nature, then God is the most powerful scientist of all: the primal inquirer, the maker of methods, the fountain of discovery.
