I Am An Archaeologist:
1. The Indiana Jones stereotype. Adveturous life, amazing treasures, etc.
2. Howard Carter. Your parents always hope you’ll discover the next big find of the century.
3. Benjamin Gates; stealing for a good cause (ie: preserving a document or treasure). This is a stereotype too which, in certain countries, can lead to people being sent to jail because they were “suspected” of doing stuff like that. Which is, of course, illegal.
4. Mwahahah, Ammit is not happy with you robbing people’s tombs!
5. What we all wish we would do in a couple of years…
6. The truth: archaeologists are rarely sent abroad on amazing missions. Most of the time, they’re all comfy and cultured, studying and teaching at all the most prestigious universities of the world.
