About this listen

Popular fiction is filled with images of archaeologists as daring adventurers who constantly risk life and limb in the pursuit of fabulous antiquities of immense historical and monetary value. There are evil villains, great romances, and unknown perils lurking around every corner.

That's the view many people have of archaeology. But what is the truth behind the myth? And why have the myths persisted for so long?

In this audiobook, you'll explore the fiction surrounding archaeology, why we as people love and perpetuate that fiction, and what the truth behind the fiction really is.

Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction. Come along and explore both.

If you make a living reading books aloud, and you come across an unfamiliar word, why, oh why oh why not pause and look up the correct way to pronounce it? Honestly... Would it be so very bad? Sadly, while the problem isn't unique to this book, I ran into more instances of "non-standard" pronunciations than any other I've run into.
The book itself is a fun and generally accessible view of the differences between how archeology is depicted in movies & tv vs reality.

Good research and information, but honestly
