What Truck by Thomas Boatwright

Raider’s costume designer Deborah Nadoolman Landis noted that the inspiration for Indiana’s costume was Charlton Heston’s Harry Steele in Secret of the Incas: “We did watch this film together as a crew several times, and I always thought it strange that the filmmakers did not credit it later as the inspiration for the series.”

AMAZING Youtube video. If you’re even one tenth as obsessed with Raiders as I am, you have to watch this.

While discussing movies…

I feel that way about the opening sequence of Indiana Jones and the last Crusade : I don’t need to know how he got interested in lost treasures, how he acquired his fedora, whip and fear of snakes. Just tell me a fucking story already.

So I found this article PRETTY itneresting, both as an Indiana Jones fan, and as a student of archaeology.

I previously did not realize that there were actualy departments that were dedicated to the preservation of ancient sites. I’d always assumed it was just a matter of the government dishing out funds for a little bit of extra security, that (lets face it) was pretty lax in the grand scheme of things.

This is also super interesting because it allows North Americans to be more interspersed with other cultures, allowing us to learn and create connections, albeit however diluted they are over such vast distances.

By protecting these sites we not only protect the cultural heritage of a group, but also save these experiences for future generations so that they might also be able to learn and enjoy such wonderful windows into our past.

It might not be exactly the kind of thing that Indy was into, but it is nonetheless a fairly large step in the way that archaeology affects and is involved with the world.
