The Quran proposes studying the Archeology of Rejecters. Up to the moment, we have never heard about the Archeology of the people of Noah, Aad, Thamud, Lot or even the Archeology of the people of Pharoah of Moses and where the drowned Egyptian troops were.

In Ayah 6:10-11, the Quran proposes a new field of Archeology; that is Archeology of Rejecters.
Archeology is important since it enables us to know the history of mankind and human behavior throughout the history. People sometimes need to recognize what occurred in the past to direct the future by avoiding the mistakes that had happened in the past.
Nowadays there were many schools for Archeology, many Archeology colleges, a lot of Archaeology magazine etc.
Nevertheless, up to the moment, we have never heard about the
- Archeology of the people of Noah
- Archeology of the people of Aad
- Archeology of the people of Thamud
- Archeology of the people of Lot
- Archeology of the people of Pharoah and where the drowned Egyptian troops were.
All of those people were Rejectors; they denied their prophets and Allah has punished them.
Allah encourages mankind to travel and search for the nature of the consequence for the rejecters! To see what happened to those who denied Allah and His messengers. And this is the new field of Archeology; that is Archeology of Rejecters
All the Messengers of Allah have been derided before you O Muhammad; their people derided them as your people were deriding you now.
But those who scoffed at their Messengers were encompassed by that which they mocked, namely, by the punishment which sent down on them. Also, those who mock you O Muhammad will be encompassed likewise.
Say to the disbelievers: Travel in the land hate, and see the nature of the consequence for the deniers’, of the messengers, how they were destroyed through chastisement; perhaps they will take heed.
Travel through the earth and see what the end of those who rejected the truth was. And this is Archeology of Rejecters
