tracing backward
to a time unknown
by those in the present day
they dig to corroborate
their best guess
of the artifacts and surroundings
much will remain shrouded in mystery
leaving us to continually rewrite the timeline
when new and exciting discoveries arise

A great image to describe the tunneling of history, Susi.
