Will there be a need for a Crypto Archaeologist in the future? Staking an original claim.

I would like to ask a question and then make a statement. All feedback, suggestions, comments, and concerns are highly appreciated.First, the question: Will there be a need for Crypto Archaeologists in the future?

I plan to be the first true Crypto Archaeologist, and I have come to this OG crypto platform to officially state this claim.It is like Babe Ruth pointing to the outfield and calling his home run—only I'm not Babe Ruth, and I don't see any actual connections between baseball and crypto archaeology, so let's hope I'm better at crypto archaeology than I am at giving analogies.

I actually came across this topic earlier today and tried my darndest to understand what OP is trying to convey. I couldn't, so I moved on and didn't respond. Archeological findings of old cryptographic tools have already been discovered before, so he wouldn't be the first...I'm pretty sure it's a joke-type of post. However, now that you've asked the question of, "have cryptographic mathematics even existed centuries?", I couldn't resist responding here:

Yes, they most certainly have.

The invention of the frequency analysis technique for breaking monoalphabetic substitution ciphers, by Al-Kindi, an Arab mathematician,[19][20] sometime around AD 800, proved to be the single most significant cryptanalytic advance until World War II.
