Everybody has a past. Whether we choose to accept it or simply close our eyes and hide from it is another story. Some are haunted by the ghosts of skeletons hidden away in the dusty corners of their closets. They make us who we are by forcing us to react to their presence. Life, however, has a tricky way of making sure things don’t stay so clearly black and white. A murky mix of ash and charcoal are chaotically laid out on the path we walk to keep us on our toes. This fact fascinates me. I have a constant want to learn of past people and how they saw the world, hence my interest in the archaeology of the dead
As I’m sure it is for most people who are seduced by the nomadic lifestyle of the ever adventurous archaeologist; the root of their curiosity, passion, and want to find out as much about a past people or civilization can be summed into two words. On the tip of your tongue? Smooth, intelligent, courageous, and let’s face it, easy on the eyes... That’s right, the one and only Indiana Jones! I am not ashamed to say that the first moment when I realized I could do something amazing in this lifetime came to me during a jungle filled scene in an Indiana Jones film. Before you giggle to yourself that I’m a silly school girl with naive dreams, stay tuned to let me explain further....
