Finally, after 19 years Indiana Jones is back. This time round he became a father. The adventure took him to Nazca, Peru and it involved the Mayan civilisation and aliens.I think the story is inspired by the book Charoits of the Gods by Enrich von Daniken. The book hypothesysed that many ancient civilisations' technologies and religions were given to them by space travelers who were welcomed as gods. I read the book before during my NS days. However, I didn't finish reading it.
Out of the four Indiana movies, the one I liked best is still the 3rd one - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It had Sean Connery as the Senior Jones and the late River Phoenix as the young Indiana Jones. Ch 5 did a rerun of the show recently and it was really good to be able to watch it again. The show was really entertaining- funny, yet exciting. It was this show that introduced me to the magnificent Treasury building in Petra, Jordan. The facade of the building was carved into the sandstone cliff. Hmmm... when will I have the chance to go there?
I like archaeology. However, in my own opinion, to be an archaeologist in Singapore you will starve to death. That's why I didn't go into it. I can only sit back and read the research done by others. In other words "Let others do the dirty job for me". Hee.... just joking.
Nevertheless, this latest Indiana Jones movie is still quite entertaining. Welcome back Indiana.
