I am looking for books similar to "At the Mountains of Madness" by H.P. Lovecraft(ive pretty much read everything from lovecraft), "Eversion" by Alastair Reynolds, "Das Eulentor" by Alexander Gruber (dont know if this book ever released in another language), "The Hollow Places" by T. Kingfisher, I also tried reading "Ascension" by Nicholas Binge but it wasnt really to my taste. Hope you have some ideas. thx in advance

Jack McDevitt writes has a series which is basically space archaeology. You may like those. I think Engines of the Gods is thr first one.

Yeah, i also recommend this. I read them a while ago, but Engines of the Gods, Deepsix and Chindi were fun
