Why are artifacts considered important?
Artifacts as in remnants of past civilizations?
If that’s the question, the answer is simple.
Artifacts provide us with views on the daily lives and culture of past civilizations. Some artifacts come in the form of writings or other forms that give us a glimpse into what happened during those times. Our history is important, we need to know what happened in the past.
“Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.”
Also, some artifacts give us a clue as to the scientific and engineering progresses in ancient civilizations. They help us understand where modern day tools or processes come from.
