Dear Colleagues,
I have been asked to give (pro gratis) advice on an unusual measurement problem:
Some Hungarian archeologists are trying to locate the triple-casket of Attila the Hun (445-53 A.D.) by the use of ultra-sensitive remote detectors. I know that our colleagues in the mining and oil exploration fields do have some super-sensitive sensors and so do our colleagues dealing with mines in the military, but this measurement could still be beyond the capabilities of their sensors for the following reasons.
The gold and silver inner coffins have been placed inside a steel casket, so in this measurement, we have to contend with a magnetic barrier. Another problem is that the river Tisza was rerouted to flow over the grave of Attila
in order to protect the memorabilia buried with him (including the sword of the "Scourge of God", which gave a ruddy glow in the dark).
So, I am not overly optimistic that we have the technology to do this, but "one never knows." On the other hand, if some of you knew a way and the
casket was found, it would resolve the 1500 years old question of who the Hungarians are, where did we and our kinless language came from?
Have a nice weekend,
