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.

    I’m surprised there hasn’t been a modern day person that buried their fortune with them under puzzles and traps.

          The reason we don’t have more mummies is that the aristocracy back in waiting w were literally eating them.
