Archaeologist Breaks Down 10 Treasure Hunting Scenes In Movies | How Real Is It?

Archaeologist Breaks Down 10 Treasure Hunting Scenes In Movies | How Real Is It? | Insider

День тому

Archaeology has played a role in scores of iconic Hollywood films, from “The Mummy” to “Titanic.” But what’s a real-life archaeologist’s take on these movies? New York University archaeologist Mariana Castro reacts to 10 scenes featuring the most famous fictional archaeologists and treasure hunters, from Indiana Jones to Lara Croft, and rates them based on their realism.
Find out how realistic Indiana Jones’ adventures are in movies like “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” Watch Mariana dissect Nicolas Cage’s methodology in “National Treasure,” Angelina Jolie’s field gear in “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” Max von Sydow’s’s Iraq excavation in “The Exorcist,” and Rachel Weisz’s exhumation of the sarcophagus in “The Mummy.” She breaks down the important differences between excavation and looting, does some myth-busting about the pseudoarchaeology depicted in movies like “Stargate,” critiques Matthew McConaughey’s archaeological practices in “Sahara,” and tells us what Disney’s “Atlantis: The Lost Empire” actually gets right about archaeology.
From an expert’s perspective, find out whether archaeologists really use metal detectors, why the military does sometimes get involved in archaeological projects, why alien and space archaeology isn’t a thing, and why actual fieldwork doesn’t look like the shipwreck exploration seen in James Cameron’s “Titanic.” Plus, why booby traps aren’t all that common archaeology finds, and what tricks ancient civilizations actually used to deter looters.

It's a goldmine of information. Not just the decorations and the architecture are fascinating, but you can analyse the production marks, look for traces of movement, look at the mineral makeup to determine if the boulders came from the site itself or somewhere else entirely. Pollen could be found I crevices and dated. There are so many possible methods that could be applied, it's crazy. Sites like these are the wet fantasy for an archaeologist

@101jir 4 роки тому

Yeah same! I mean in addition to what Malin M says, the booby traps themselves would say a lot about a culture. What about their culture lead them to make physical traps instead of writing down curses like other cultures? What kind of traps were they and how were they constructed? And taken together with other things at the site, what does that say about the culture that created them and their approach to anything and everything? Idols on the other hand, they are pretty common across different civilizations in some form or another.

@grindstone4910 4 роки тому

Even as a kid, I wondered how they had functional ancient pneumatic and mechanical systems to shoot the darts in the traps...

@robertnett9793 4 роки тому

All those movies are set in the 1920 / 30ies - where archeology still was in its infancy and pretty much indistinguishable from plain old grave robbery. So I can chalk up those inaccuracies to modern archeology to that. But intrestingly enough - while much quieter and lower in profile, the scene from the exorcist was very intensive compared to the other scenes.

@scorpionc773 4 роки тому

Off course they would be. If this People can build a working Booby Trap with compressed Air, that works 1000 Years later, Moving Stones that are attached to a Mechanisem that lets them move down with only Lianas, that also work 1000 Years later. Yep, that would, indeed, be very Interesting. But much more Interesting would be the reason, how such a technologycal advanced society has fallen.

I'm obviously not an expert, but I feel like booby traps in tombs like the ones frequently portrayed in movies would probably be more along the lines of floors designed to give out if substantial weight was put on them. Like I said, though, that's just what I'd assume.

@Casshio 3 роки тому

There were a few collapsing traps found in tombs and other structures if I remember correctly. But nothing that eloborate. The tomb of the first emperor of china is also said to have been full of traps and that it's one of the reasons the actual tomb in the center of the necropolis wasn't opened yet. But that thing is overkill in every way so no surprise there. It's actually perefect for a movie.

@simple-commentator-not-rea7345 3 роки тому

Also, I'm pretty sure that people who put those "traps" there, obviously didn't put them just so that many Indiana's can go on Jones'ing. They were more meant for looters, who were common especially in Ancient Egypt where it was pretty much common knowledge that our dear Pharaoh who recently died was buried with all his gold trinkets and shit, because traditionaly in Egypt, Pharaohs own their gold for ever

"sound waves soil" It's more about finding stuff in the ground using sound waves. However, while gprs are used in archeology, afaik, they can not give you a date, while the actual soil sample might. it is also useful, since different layers of soil contain different time period. Mostly it is used to identify that "Hey, there's something there worth investigating". However, dunno about the US, but in Russia. My sister said, they only dig, where the soil movement alread started uncovering, what was buried beneath. Like landslids and stuff. o,o Also marshes. Nothing stays buried in marshes.

My archaeology professor said something over and over about how archaeologists love garbage. Sometimes it's the only thing that survives and if they find complete objects oh its on. Like broken pots are so important. You also look at dirt a lot, there's a whole book about different dirt colors. Tombs are well preserved but it only tells people a few things about how people lived and they're important parts but not everything. I reallllly like this lady because like she said it is not about the one physically valuable artifact, that's what looters do, if they found a site like some of these everything would be examined and carefully excavated. Also there is a long history of archaeologists being the looters and a lot of controversy around private collections that never ever see the light of day, but now there is a pretty much world wide protection system of cultural heritage for new finds and what can be used for knowledge in museums and what should be left to the people.

@lordofuzkulak8308 4 роки тому

Itzel Trujillo that’s what i was thinking; for some of the clips she seemed to ignore the context those clips were from; they’re inaccurate for modern professional archeology but not as inaccurate for the time period. Another example is the clip from The Mummy - while digging from underneath is not something you’d usually do, iirc in the film they were trying to ‘steal’ the find from a rival group so would’ve been unable to do a conventional dig to get at it, and the reason for the lack of conventional accouchements in the sarcophagus was because Imhotep was put in the sarcophagus as a method of execution, not conventional burial (criticising the clip for that not being a real thing would have been valid though).

@electricdevil2422 4 роки тому

To be fair, the clip is missing the context of the story of Henry Jones, Jr. as chronicled in "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" TV series, where it goes into more of young Indy's life, which also includes quite a bit of archaeology as a young boy. Combined with his father's insistence that Indy learn Greek, one gets an idea that Indy is actually pretty advanced in archaeology.

Btw: gold ingots come in various sizes and weights, so trying to figure out the weight of that idol _(shaped in an irregular form)_ by comparing it mentally alone with a rectangular shaped gold ingot of any of many possible weights, doesn't really make sense. Plus: if we're going with your 27 pounds guess - that's roughly 12 kilograms. That idol weighs nowhere near 12 kg. Look at how easy he throws it, and how easy the other guy catches it. Try doing that with a 12 kg weight. To give you a comparison: the heaviest bowling ball weighs 16 pound - roughly 7.5 kg Again: I see and understand the comedic of the scene.

I don't disagree with anything you're saying, I just offered my view on why I never questioned that scene. I think it's pretty clear that Indiana Jones is less of a scientist and more of a procurer of artifacts for the museum. He doesn't study artifacts, he gets paid to get them for museums for actual scholars to study them. He only knows enough to find the things, which explains why instead of studying the temple or the traps or taking time with the idol, he just made a guess based on nothing and hoping he was right (he wasn't). I mean if we go by his movies, he's not exactly somebody who takes his time and plan, he's very much a fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants kind of guy.

@thekernowyonpenguin 4 роки тому

The Smoove Fox I’m an archaeology student, so not a professional yet, however I hope I can help somewhat here (if I’ve been paying enough attention XD)! Archaeology as a field has evolved over time to become as methodical as it is today. The ‘wild west’ days the op is referring to is most likely the period of the Grand Tour, 17th and 18th C. archaeology ventures by (often young) European aristocrats going on a tour around classical period sites in Greece and Italy, and then later Egypt. During this period people would travel to archaeological sites and observe the ‘excavations’ taking place. These excavations would largely involve tunnelling through the archaeology and looking for treasures, I believe people observing would then often bid on those treasures. The most famous example of this practice is Pompeii. A lot of knowledge was lost during the initial excavations in Pompeii due to their lack of care when excavating and their sole interest in treasures. These days things such as small bits of rubble, charcoal and pot are valuable but back then the main interest was items of aesthetic value, as opposed to scientific and historical value. Such people were even known to use dynamite to open up barrows in England. Some people undertook archaeology in this period and carried out such methods as a major hobby and in the UK we refer to them as Antiquarians rather than archaeologists (they may have a different name in other countries, I don’t know). Undoubtedly they were vital in increasing our knowledge of the past and helping the field to evolve to where it is today and many have interesting stories and we’re interesting characters but their methods were, as discussed, rash and destructive and they did not put the same emphasis on knowledge that we do today. Nowadays even the type and depth of soil things are found in is valuable in and of itself, back then such things were rarely even recorded. I’ve tried to be as brief as I could whilst providing enough info but, hopefully, that’ll help give you an idea of what archaeology was like in the past (it truly was ‘wild west’ like at certain points!) and good luck with your story! 😊
