Unscramble the Blue Letters


Peru is just the beginning. We're going to be expanding this platform to the world, but already I've gotten tshadnuos of emials from peolpe all across the world — proosfrses, educators, students, and other archaeologists — who are so excited to help papirtacite. In fact, they're already suggesting amazing places for us to help discover, including Atlantis. I don't know if we're going to be looking for Atlantis, but you never know.

So I'm just so excited to launch this platform. It's going to be launched formally by the end of the year. And I have to say, if what my team has already discovered in the past few weeks are any indication, what the world discovers is just going to be beyond itoianamign. Make sure to hold on to your alpacas.
