1:21 hello Mark I'd like to ask you about
1:23 your work as an archaeologist
1:27 what is it like digging for treasure great
1:28 great
1:30 archeology is my passion
1:32 when I'm working at an archaeological
1:35 site I feel like Indiana Jones
1:37 were you interested in archeology when
1:41 you were a teenager no I thought I was
1:43 going to be an artist because I was very
1:44 good at drawing
1:46 that's how I got my first job working
1:48 with some archaeologists in Egypt
1:51 they needed someone to make sketches
1:53 was it then that you became interested
1:56 in archeology well I was Keen to
1:58 discover the stories behind the objects
2:01 which I drew so in 1990 I decided to
2:03 study archeology I was really lucky
2:06 because in my second year a famous
2:08 archeology Professor Mark Thompson
2:11 became the head of my department and I
2:13 learned a lot from him where did you
2:16 work after graduation I went back to
2:17 Egypt because it is one of the most
2:19 fascinating places for any archaeologist
2:22 but I stayed there for only a week
2:24 because I got a phone call from
2:26 Professor Thompson in Greece which had
2:28 just been hit by an earthquake
2:30 he needed urgent help with protecting
2:32 some archaeological sites in the
2:35 earthquake region so I went and spent
2:37 almost a whole year working there with him
2:37 him
2:41 fascinating did you ever find any
2:43 valuable items while working as an
2:46 archaeologist once I found an
2:47 extraordinary vase
2:49 when the Sun Shines on it it seems to be
2:52 made of gold but it's in fact made of
2:54 crystal there's a photo of it on the
2:58 wall behind me wow it's beautiful and
3:01 what are you doing nowadays

14:41 return to my car only to find that my
14:43 car keys and phone were locked inside
14:46 a cyclist stopped and asked what was
14:49 wrong I explained my situation and added
14:51 that even if I could call my wife she
14:53 wouldn't be able to bring me her car
14:56 keys she was looking after our baby
14:58 the cyclist handed me his mobile phone
15:02 and suggested I should call my wife and
15:04 tell her that he was coming for the keys
15:07 I did what he'd suggested but made it
15:09 clear to him that it was a long trip

17:33 leave food in places where Bears can
17:36 find it because if they start eating
