ONSITE WITH INDIANA JONES (May, 2008)

Who's the best-known archaeologist in the world? You'd be right if you said "Indiana Jones." In fact, there are quite a number of people who think there was a real Indiana Jones. Well, now that you know he was not an actual character, your next question is probably, "Are any of his feats real?" or "Is there any truth to his tales?" For the answers, don't miss DIG's May 2008 issue. We'll be revisiting each of the first three movies and finding out just where the Ark of the Covenant might be and where hearts were gouged out of living humans. We'll even have a personal tour of that grand site where Indy looks for the Holy Grail. And, there's more. The new Indiana Jones movie, on the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, will open the same month as the issue, and a DIG author will bring you the truth about a crystal skull found right here in the Americas- and the person who found it. Now, if you are wondering if Indy ever did any "good" archaeology, then wonder no more. Dig's rounded up some of the dos and don'ts about Indy. So, rest up! Traveling with Indy always is sure to be an exhausting - and exhilarating - experience.
