I have a confession. I'm an archaeology slut.

It's true, I am a total whore for discovery channel archaeology stuff, fossil hunting and anything related to history with archaeology.

My secret shame is now public.

LOL, I was going to be an archaeologist but figured I needed something a little more secure in terms of making money to live on and I knew a lot of archaeologist/anthropologists who couldn't do that....really upset my teachers I didn't pursue it, but one has to eat and feed their children, so armchair pursuits are what I am also reduced to.

If you are then I am. I do the same thing

 

[Betticus]

I read something a while back where you could sign up and volunteer to go and help with archaeological digs during the season. Like a working vacation in the badlands of wherever they need free labor.

My dad always used to tell me that if I didn't do my homework I could be a ditch digger.

Oddly, he'd always make me dig up the broken sewer pipes or water pipes or dig the cable trench for the tv cable installation. Either way, I was digging.

Born with a shovel in one hand and a splinter in the other.

Shame??!!??
Then i am in the same boat as you. This is my passion, especially the ancient world, like sex, I just can't get enough sometimes. I await the day that my wife/sub finishes college and I can go persue my desires in the ancient world!
BTW...the Romans had some great floggers!!!!

I'm a history junkie. I love the history channel (when we had cable, and on the rare occasion I had control of the remote). History is just stories, lots of stories. It's probably why I love genealogy so much.

 

[Betticus]

I'm watching a cool youtube one called the history of atlantis. It's in five parts ten minutes each.

 

[FurryFury]

Archeology is hawt, all that digging up dead bodies and civilizations. If they are old enough it's called archeology but if it's not, it's called grave robbery. Too fucking cool.

I always read the news stories about newly found ancient stuff FIRST!

Yesss!!!

 

[Betticus]

We should post links to all the cool archaeology stuff as we find it.

 

[FurryFury]

Thanks to satellites and all that scary big brother shit we are finding more and more everyday!

Get the brushes, I'll get the shovel!

Whoo hoo!

We will have to form the lit history/archaeology club and have meets at fossil hunting fields or indian cliff dwellings and stuff.

KEWL!

I'm so there!

I'll join too

Is no one going to comment on Northwoods mention of the Roman Floggers?

 

[bholderman]

Thats why my arch career failed. Got the degree, willingness and skill, but with a wife and 3 kids in an expensive economy, one layoff was all it took.

All you have to do is head over to the Southeast corner of our sparsely populated state. You can still find Indian artifacts (not just arrowheads either). I have a friend with a whole room just dedicated to his finds. If you are interested, I can get more information on good places to look.

Here is the MOST private fantasy that I actually masturbate to:


I'm on vacation in Greece. I am walking along this sandy dirty type of road, totally abandoned, in the middle of nowhere.... and I trip. I hit the ground, and wonder what it was that I tripped on.... On my hands and knees, I crawl towards the thing... and it's a corner of something, jutting just barely two inches out of the ground... I dig around it a bit, trying to get it loose, but the deeper I dig, the more is revealed... I eventually run to get a shovel, and start flat-out-digging... deeper and deeper... friends arrive with the police, as I've called them on my cell.... which for some reason, works out there... and I realize that what I've tripped on is a buried temple... soemthing that got buried during an earthquake, maybe. And I get to claim rights....


*swoon*
