Temporal Archimedea is a new activity/mission that was added with the Techrot Encore Update, which has the Tenno go through multiple missions to obtain rewards.
The enemy level for this activity has been boosted to extreme heights, making this a difficult activity for both new and veteran players alike.
The rewards however are all worth the effort and those who progress and obtain Peely Pix can later have an advantage with their runs.

Temporal Archimedea Mission Guide
Doing Temporal Archimedea is quite simple as all you need to do is complete the 3 missions listed in the activity, which rotate each week.
The only thing that makes the activity difficult is the high-level enemies that you will be facing, which makes it possibly more difficult than Steel Path Missions.
Once the last mission of the set of three is complete, you will obtain rewards based on the Research Points that you have for the run. (This is set when you start the activity)
1999 Calendar Overrides
Since the Temporal Archimedea Missions take place in Warframe 1999 Missions, this will cause Calendar Overrides to affect the activity.
Calendar Overrides that you have obtained for the current season will be applied to your Warframe during Temporal Archimedea runs.

You can view the list of rewards that can be obtained for each tier of Research Points that you earn when viewing the Temporal Archimedea menu.
Verdict
Temporal Archimedea is a great way to farm some of the endgame items that you will need, especially Archon Shards since they are used to enhance your Warframes.
While the difficulty of this activity may be a challenge, the rewards at the end are worth it and the further you push with Research Points, the more you can get.
It is recommended to do Temporal Archimedea runs with a team to ensure success since you cannot self-revive and may end up failing the mission.
