Answers
ANSWER :
“Scientific intervention is necessary to unearth buried mysteries.”
FOR : It is only by scientific analysis that we can probe facts about past life or buried things. In the absence of living evidence scientific analysis is the only way to determine the facts.
AGAINST : We should let bygones be bygones. No good can come by digging out the dead. What good can it do to know whether Tut died at 18 or 80? What good can it do to know whether he died natural death or was murdered? A mere a waste of time and energy!

Answer:
Explanation:
For the motion.
Every nation glorifies its past history, culture and civilization. However, certain mysteries lie buried with them. Rituals and legends are insufficient to clear the wrap of mystery surrounding them. For example, take the case of Tutankhamun’s mummy. He was laid to rest laden with gold more than 3,300 years ago. Since the discovery of his tomb in 1922 AD, the modem world has speculated about him. Some people believe that the boy king might have been murdered. There is a mystery around his life as well as death. Scientific intervention is necessary to clear the dust and cloud of mysteries around him. Hence, if we want to study archaeology properly we must take help of scientific techniques.
Against the motion:
If present is perfect and future certain, why many about the past? Let the dead past bury its dead and the mysteries surrounding them. In the present world full of competition, we must devote our money, time and energy to build up our resources and sustain the life style. Scientific techniques should be employed to feed the hungry millions and clad the naked ones. Some mysteries of the past have lost their relevance with the passage of time. Won’t it be futile and wastage of precious resources of a developing nation in this idle pursuit? Let the thinkers, philosophers and priests worry about mysteries—not the scientists.
