I seriously am fascinated by ancient archaeology, but sometimes I can’t stop yielding to the ba-dump-BUMP temptation. There was an incredible civilization in SE Asia that has been unknown to the west because it wasn’t in the Christian-Muslim-Silkroad axis that fills most of our history books—deservedly so, but not at the expense of the rest of the world.
I like cool old stuff, too. I often read about ancient civilizations, such as this one, about which I know absolutely nothing.
