Titus's Archaeology Origin Story

- This early exposure led him to study archaeology and biblical history academically and professionally.
Archaeology Vs. Indiana Jones

- True archaeology is systematic, slow, involves surveys and long hours in excavations, often without spectacular finds.
How Archaeological Digs Begin
- Archaeological digs start with research and surveys to locate promising sites, guided by historical texts and name continuity.
- Excavation permits come from local governments, with artifacts legally belonging to the host country, not dig sponsors.
