Archaeology and Treasures

The history of archaeological discoveries, as well as archaeology itself, is entwined with important individuals driven by adventure and obsessed with the discovery of lost places that document the rise and fall of great civilizations. Hiram Bingham, Leonard Woolley, and Heinrich Schliemann symbolize the values and dreams we first had as children and later as adults to experience adventure and make a great discovery. The film character created by George Lucas has become the symbol of early twentieth-century archaeology and is still synonymous with research and adventure. Most people identify archaeology as a profession full of adventure, combined with research and analysis of findings. Writing the history of human culture today is an activity that has been influenced, willingly or unwillingly, by the Indiana Jones films. This influence is so profound that even today, generations of archaeologists take the famous professor as a role model for their profession. The exhibition allows the audience to discover, on a narrow line between truth and fiction, the mystery of the artifacts hidden behind the films. Additionally, you will accompany the famous professor through the great historical events that have profoundly changed modern society.
