You would think that all the discoveries have already been made in that area.

There have been a few discoveries recently in the central and south america areas but you wouldn't think there would be anything new found in Greece, Italy or Egypt.

I guess as technology becomes more readily available we are able to look at places that were dismissed in the past.
