: : Hey everyone,
: : I know the real archaeology isn't like Indiana Jones adventures, but it is still my favorite thing to read about. Anyone else really into archaeology? I am studying mesoamerican cultures (Aztecs, Incas, Olmecs, Mayans, etc) I'll be going to Hamline University in St. Paul for this. In any case, it would be good to hear from some fellow archaeologists...

: Congratulations, Nickster! I still have a while to go for college, but I can't help to seem smug, but my class did ancient Egypt reports which were a MAJOR part of our a grade. Thanks to Indy, I lapped up the information and earned an A+. On the comments about the report, my teacher put, "...Indy would be proud!" I felt so special. ALSO: you are a fellow Maya fan? They were a beautiful culture, and I TOTALLY think that ToD's Thuggee's were based on them. (just a bit) Their sacrifices were very....unique.

Nickster and Krede!!!!
I've always wanted some replicas of the ancient Egyptian art. I've never been to any Mayan temples, but what really got me "into" the Mayans, was actually a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book from the 70's called "Mystery of the Maya". I thought that the civilization was just like the "Thuggee's" from ToD, like I've said, and so it is thanks to Indy that I am knowledgable of some beautiful, and mysterious, cultures.
Adventurously,
Ulla

(Also- I wrote a poem in school last year on Indy and the Mayans. "Sas c|:)" says I should let you forum people hear it. Would you like me to?)
