Whats Archaeology?

I know it looks like a stupid question. Im pretty new to the game. Haven't played for years. I can't google it because im at work and it blockes gaming websites.

Im asking because I saw people saying they lvl 60-85 with it and its more afkable than questing bots. Seeing is I work a lot Afk is key for me.

its a new profession like fishing cooking etc, you go around different parts of azeroth digging sites to make up weapons mounts pets etc

Make mounts really? Is it worth getting? I see a lot of people do fishing a lot for some reason. Is arch the better way to go? Its a secondary I take it also.
