Detours in Artaeology

The Mummy - An Archaeologist Reacts


Listen Later

I love The Mummy (1999), it wasn't the only reason I wanted to study archaeology, but it got me thinking more about the cultural history, traditions, and myths that have lasted through the centuries.

Of course, it's not right about all of the actual archaeology and history, but that's what I'm here for. This is my rant about all the right and wrong things that I caught in the 1999 movie The Mummy.


Read along and look at pictures here, I promise I'm showing my work.
