I find this to be incredibly interesting, anytime anything new in the world is discovered I am fascinated, its like wow, Earth still has some things hidden from us. The tomb contains 5 or 6 mummies intact, and un disturbed by looters. I hope theres still discoveries to be found by the time I get my degree, I would love to be exploring previously undiscovered locations. Its like romanticism for scientists. Whenever they discover anything new in the world, it reminds me of how beautiful earth is, with its ancients cultures, exotic locations, ecosystems, and different species of every kind. Seriously I think if I could live during any time it would be when Darwin sailed on the Beagle exploring and discovering species. I'd be there right with him if i could. I just need a bit of modern medicine to battle the amounts of syphilis and whatever diseases floating around then.

Its fascinating stuff, plus a job in this field can involve more abstract jobs, i couldent stand sitting in an office all day
