Records of fossils are
substantial parts of a scientific approach in order to get a glimpse of the
past's lifestlye, diet, biological makeup and living environment, among others.
Remains or traces of organisms like plants, animals and humans from the past
that have been preserved in soil layers or rock formations, normally some tens
of thousands years ago.
Fossil records are important
sources in learning history and means of verifying accounts.
Meanwhile, ruins are formerly
only of interest to architects and engineers (along with some people who
appreciates structural marvels of bygone days) but they are now considered
vital parts of culture and art appreciation for their aesthetic apppeal. They
are of particular interest to anthropologists and historians for their
importance in the study of past towns, villages, structures and houses that
denote human society state in a certain time period.
They are usually former
buildings, houses, towns or places of worship, considered architecture and
engineering marvels in their time but have suffered damages from normal
weathering or war destruction, now being preserved and protected mainly by
UNESCO's World Heritage Sites for serving as unique historical markers.
