How extraordinary! As an archaeologist and filmmaker who takes people on historical tours (to Turkey) I was amazed to read about Expedia's archaeological adventures in Indy's footsteps. It will be fascinating to see if the itineraries have mass appeal and are a success. On the whole I'm delighted that a big company like Expedia is helping to bring the world's ancient wonders to a wider audience. Historical holidays can only help us to understand the past and get a better perspective on the present and future - provided they avoid piranhas and poison darts!

If you thought it was rough to have to go through ORD to get from coast to coast, look at how many stopovers Indy has to make... He can't even get to Italy from New York without taking three or four legs. SirWired Have you ever watched the movies where they show the map while he is going from point A to point B?
