Thanks to popular culture, such as the movie ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'', classical [[archaeology]] is often seen as very exciting. Philologists rely on archaeological excavation, so that they may study the literary and linguistic culture of the ancient world. Likewise, archaeologists may rely on the philological study of literature in order to contextualize the excavated remains of the classical civilizations of [[Mesopotamia]], [[Ancient Egypt|Egypt]], Greece, and Rome. The artifacts they find are key to all the other sub-disciplines and help provide new evidence for the understanding of the ancient world.
