8 Reasons Why Indiana Jones Is A Terrible Archaeologist

2. People Call Him Indiana

Dldwl Nicknames usually attributed to archaeologists range from simple things like "nerd" or "dork" to more creative stuff like "Roman pot-shagger" or "archo-sexual" €“ nothing as cool as "Indiana". Even better for him, people end up calling him "Indy", which is arguably even cooler; whereas a real archaeologist is less likely to have their name shortened in a hip-happening kind of way and more likely to receive vicious calls of "trowels were meant for gardening" and "leave Tutankhamen alone". Actual names of actual archaeologists tend to be normal ones like "Steve" or "Chris" and never "Denzel" or "Idaho".
