Three reasons why #Netflix should replace the #psudeoscience ideas of #AncientApocalypse with a documentary about real #archaeologists

1) Excavations can be full of unexpected twists and turns. I’ve been washed down a flooded river, had a tunnel almost collapse while excavating and had a jaguar/puma fall into the excavation unit. (1/2)

2) Archaeologists are constantly trying to figure out the next piece of the puzzle. Think of it like a crime show— each field season the crew is excavating evidence that gets sent to the lab where specialists analyze the data to get a picture of what was happening in the past.

3) People who are watching can actually get involved in local archaeological digs! Many sites are looking for volunteers of all kinds and how often do you get to do what you see on tv? (2/2)

@alsgaard I did not see that puma comment coming ... 😳
@Chapps we didn’t see it coming either! 😂 we walked up to the site one morning to find the side wall collapsed and large cat prints all around the sides of the unit 😳 we thing they must have fallen/jumped in and then scrambled out, breaking the side wall in the process! Lol
@alsgaard I'd hate to imagine what might have happened if someone had been on site when that happened. The cat would still have probably just gotten the heck out of Dodge.
@Chapps oh goodness! 😳 that would be my hope for sure! I think we both would have wanted to avoid any interaction 😅
