I find thermo-luminiscence dating interesting too, from an antroprocentric point of view.
Imagine, you find human relics but can't use radio carbon dating, because it just tells you: yes it is older than 60k years but I won't tell you how much older, because we ran out of ¹⁴C a while ago. And then someone comes along and says: Hey let's heat those rocks we found close to the ancient fire place and measure the energy they emit instead. :D
That thermo-luminiscence video looks like one of the most AI produced things I've seen, why not link the wiki like you did for radio carbon dating?
