On the History Channel, I was watching "Indiana Jones and the Ultimate Quest." http://www.history.com/shows.do?action=detail&episodeId=295858 The show explained some of the myths explored in all four of the Indiana Jones movies. Could some of it be real? Apparently, some of the stories explored are also stories explored by today's archaeologists. George Lucas did not necessarily set the stories in the geographical areas that they can be found.
The show had interviews with many different archaeologists. I read somewhere that there is a brief increase in interest in archaeology that could be due to the attention that the character Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr., have brought.
I remember thinking about what fun that would be...I also thought it would be fun to be a paleontologist, too. I guess it was the adventure and the possibilities of a new discovery that was appealing.
