A piece of rock with mysterious markings that lay largely unstudied for 4,000 years is now being hailed as a "treasure map" for archaeologists, who are using it to hunt for ancient sites around north-western France.

You can always read the article and make up your own mind. Sometimes it isn't good to trust someone else's opinion on something.

Think of it this way, you posted it and a second poster confirmed tha tit was what you meant to post which reduces the chances that it is spam or some right wing nut job bullshit. Or the article is long and pointless with one piece of information that is covered in the tldr.

I won't read every article because of how many are trash, so the tldr was a benefit. This headline read in a way that sounded like it could have been either valid or trash and I only read it because of the tldr.

Yay for tldrs!
