I'm currently enrolled in a class entitled Archaelogy, Relics, and the Law. I swore that if the professor didn't mention Indiana Jones within ten minutes I would leave the class. he mentioned Raiders within forty seconds.

The ending of raiders of the lost ark, where the ark is left in the warehouse of forgotten relics, is believe it or not fairly accurate to what happens to finders of antiquities in the U.S. That is a pretty gross generalization, but I've looked at dozens of pictures of warehouses like that one, and read about poor people who report finds only to see them boxed and housed away in government warehouses.

Really makes me wonder whether relics really, "belong in a museum".
