As I was thinking about how fun it would be to have a job where you solve puzzles in the world, it struct me that media never depicts archeology in a real light. My short search seemed to confirm my thoughts. Most ancient sites are not guarded by elaborate traps or secret riddles to get in. From what I’ve found there were some crossbows here and there. Some rare hidden rooms with a lot treasure, but again, no traps.
There is one job that does what archeologist does in films: software engineers.
You have to decipher ancient languages, riddles, and have to avoid traps all the times.
Sure, you don’t go into deep jungle, but you sometimes get to dive into the deep web to find traces of documentations to help resolve a specific case.
