Why are archaeologists always blowing things up?
I blame bad press.
Archaeologists blowing things up is a running joke (i.e. knife that some of my friends like to twist in my back) based on my watching Diego play the recent Tomb Raider games as I watch in horror.
Diego: Oh, Lara's found an ancient book.
Me: That's...that would be utterly priceless.
Me: Whaa...? WHAAA?!? No! You go back and you cover that up! That's three Ph.D. dissertations worth of material right there! Damn your eyes, Croft!
Diego: Look, John—archaeology.
Me: That's not at all how archaeology works.
Diego: Well Lara just did it, so it must be archaeology.
Me: No, I'm pretty sure I'd know.
Diego: I excavated the #$%@ out of that wall. And that truck.

He’d likely find that funny. No, my best means of retaliation is to make puns or make purposefully misconstrue (or confuse) his favorite fandoms. Sometimes I do both, after which I have to perform the ewok of shame.

Have you seen the episode of The Awesomes called Indiana Johnson and the Nazi Granddaughters, it's on Hulu if you haven't.

I would greatly like to watch the Ewok of shame someday.

I just have to say. I love both this form of archeology and your horror at this form of archeology, as I share your exact reaction to similar things.
Hugs for you, John. Hugs.

We’ve been doing archaeology in Spider-Man for a while now. It started with a truck excavating a car! Last night John watched me excavate the Vulture AND Electro. In Civ 6 I had a bunch of archaeological sites, and I definitely surveyed them. Archaeology!
Tell them about the awful things you say about sea turtle mines, John. That’s my question.
