AET Tri is an art and research initiative dedicated to the ethical stewardship, study, and preservation of unearthed works of unknown origin. Our work exists at the intersection of scientific inquiry, ancient knowledge systems, and conscious stewardship, guided by respect for both material evidence and cultural responsibility.

We approach these works not as commodities or conclusions, but as subjects of careful observation, research, and long-term care. Through material analysis, documentation, and collaboration with independent researchers, AET Tri supports responsible inquiry while maintaining transparency about what is known, what is still being studied, and what remains unanswered.

At the core of AET Tri is a commitment to stewardship over ownership. These pieces are treated as cultural inheritances—objects that carry historical, symbolic, and human significance beyond any single individual or moment in time. Our role is to safeguard them with integrity, ensure they are preserved responsibly, and prepare them for thoughtful public engagement when appropriate.

AET Tri exists to protect, study, and honor these works while inviting curiosity rather than certainty. We believe understanding unfolds over time, and that preservation, humility, and care are essential to honoring humanity’s shared past and future.
