I went to Idaho for a youth archaeologist dig for Native American remains four years ago, and then later to Canada on a dig with the Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology. I have also learned quite a bit about Egypt, and can read the sounds for hieroglyphics, but I do not know how to speak Egyptian. I also have researched the Mayan and Roman civilazations quite a bit. I wish to learn the ancient languages someday! ! I have hopes of attending Cambridge, which has a strong archaelological focus. Well, I am not a 'real' archaelologist, yet, but I can tell you, if I don't become an archaeologist and/or a writer I will be a...a...a...er... I have no idea! Why do you ask? ------------------ TOMB RAIDER: THE CHIHOLTOPEC IDOL The year is 1997, and Lara is off on another adventure! This time, she is going deep into the jungles and foothills of Central America. Finding a cave entrence, she eagerly steps into the gloom. But the ground beneath her breaks apart, and she is sent tumbling down into the mountain side... Unknown to her, she has stumbled upon the shrine of Chiholtopec, an ancient Maya god. The reclaiming of his idol from the buried temple will allow it's bearer to rule the gift of unhindered sight. That is, if they can't pass the three tests of this god... But of course, Lara is not the only one who wants the idol... Expect the first level to come out near February! Thanx Lara Croft 2001 UK for image IP: Logged
