Another branch of knowledge has embraced the technology blockchain for its development, one that is dedicated to study the changes in social organization and human behavior in economic, political and ideological aspects, using the material remains of societies of previous times. This is archeology.
From the combination blockchain-archeology has emerged KAPU, the world's first archaeological blockchain platform, which was created by Martino Merola, who grew up in Capua, an Italian town.
This is a very ambitious project that seeks to build a decentralized global network to preserve historical findings from all over the world, solving problems such as loss and modification of data, and aiming for access to it free for universities and ministries. In addition, it is designed to take into account not only blockchain technology, but other technological advances of great interest for archeology.
The name of the project is inspired by the history of the Capua currency, which was known as KAPU in the Oscus alphabet, according to the official site of the project. In addition to that KAPU was the name of a famous school for gladiators.
