RAIDERS IS ON TELLY! Soooo, an exceedingly long 🧵w lots of archive photos - Raiders is interesting & quite accurate in the way it depicts Biblical archaeology & the political use of archaoelogy & the international rivalries of western teams competing for prestige 1/9 Also the idea of archaeology as ‘pure faith’ from which Belloq & Indy have ‘fallen’ & how this relates to the motivations behind much western biblical archaeology & the practice of it - i.e looting, disasters like the Parker expedition etc. 2/9
