Stumbling Into Archaeology

Since my days as a child, lying on my stomach and gazing at the fold-out illustrations in National Geographic magazines, I have always been fascinated by archaeology. Mysteries and challenges intrigue me, which is why a Mayan archaeological find is the subject of my novel, Picking up the Pieces.

I found this little video about Mayan archaeology. Unfortunately, the archaeologist is not named but I find it significant that he is far from a young man, yet is still digging around in the jungles making discoveries.
