The Ark, the Grail, and the Quest for Discovery

Each Indiana Jones adventure transports us to places of high adventure and intrigue, where the secrets of earlier times are discovered one clue at a time. Archaeologists dig up the past and we are often fascinated with what is uncovered. Why? Through a look at the history and legend of the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail, participants can learn about how archaeology helps us to learn about the past as well as why we are so captivated by digging it up.
