Hot take: Pencil sketches of ruins beat all that high-tech gear

Did a field project in Greece last year. They had us use scanners and drones. My hand drawn maps showed stuff the machines missed. Like a hidden door outline in a wall. Trust the old ways, people.

My sketches are so rough they accidentally highlight details tech ignores, lol.

So what kind of details are we talking about here? My phone's camera just smooths everything out until it looks like plastic. I tried to sketch a rusty bike chain and all the grit and grime actually showed up, but a photo app would just erase it. Guess being bad at drawing has its perks.

Sketches really do show the messy bits cameras erase.
