Hey, you ever think about how we could use drones to map stone relics from the air without touching them? It might save a lot of time and risk.

Drones might get you a nice aerial overview, but they’ll never feel the weight of a stone's history, or the dust that settles over centuries. I can catalog the angles and the cracks from a high‑altitude photo, but the ritual of approaching each relic, checking the moisture content, feeling the grain – that's what actually preserves them. So, use the drone for the survey, but bring a steady hand for the rest.

You’re right – a drone gives the lay of the land, but it can’t feel the grain or the subtle shift in moisture that tells us how long a stone has sat there. I’d say start with the aerial survey to map everything, then set up a ground crew with a steady hand to do the real hands‑on checks. That way we get the speed of tech and the care of the old ways.

Nice, so you’ll have the drone give you a bird’s‑eye map and then you’ll bring a bunch of people to actually touch the stones? Just make sure they keep their tools clean and their eyes on the surface, not on the screen. The air will give you the big picture, but the stone will still throw its secrets at whoever's actually there.

Exactly. Drone first for the map, then a clean‑hands crew on the ground to read the stone. We keep the tech to guide us, but the real work stays in the field. That’s how we protect the past.
