Adventurer Archaeologist: Difference between revisions

* Pretty much any archeologist who does field work in the really unstable parts of the world fits this trope. Of particular note would be the guys who work in Afghanistan looking for some of the old Buddhist remnants. Standard practice is to hire mercenary guards for any and all excavation efforts, both to avoid getting killed/kidnapped and to protect the items themselves since many religious militants are dead set at destroying any non-Muslim historical artifacts.

* Another possible inspiration for both [[Indiana Jones]] and [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur Conan Doyle's]] Professor Challenger was Percy Fawcett whose exploits in South America read like something from fiction - such as fighting giant snakes. He died at the age of [[Badass Grandpa|fifty-seven]] while searching for the [[Lost World|'The Lost City of Z']].
