Indiana Jones and the Adventure of Archaeology: The Exhibition. Fort Worth Museum of Science & History Combined Landing Party: USS REGULATOR/USS RACHEL GARRETT Three Marines from the USS Regulator were joined by the Captain of the USS Rachael Garrett to explore the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History, concentrating on the traveling "Indiana Jones" exhibit. The landing party, consisting of CWO Glen Wilkerson, CDR Tracy Clark, BDR Tank Clark, and VADM Marian L. Murphy, arrived in three separate shuttles and joined up at around 1300 hours and were issued tablets by museum staff. These tablets enabled us to learn more details about the items being exhibited, as well as to participate in an interactive "treasure hunt." The exhibit had areas dedicated to each of the four "Indiana Jones" movies, as well as sections on real archaeology. The props on display were awesome. It was wonderful to get so close to these various things, as it enabled us to experience the great detail the artists put into them. There were mannequins dressed in costumes from the movies, and some of the other well-known props, like the idol from the beginning of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", a sarcophagus from the Well of Souls, the Ark itself, Coronado's Cross from "Temple of Doom", the shield of the knight from "Last Crusade", as well as both of the Grails... and many more. The exhibits on real archaeology were fascinating, too. Treasures from the ancient city of Ur, ancient coins from many cultures, papyrus from Ancient Egypt... lots of really ancient stuff.
Next, CWO Wilkerson returned to his shuttle, whilst BDR Clark and CDR Clark went to examine the "Dino Dig" section of the museum. Very interesting items on display here, but this section was clearly oriented more for children than adults. After ensuring we'd explored the whole area available to us, we returned to our shuttle. One should maintain situational awareness, however, even as the landing party mission is coming to a close. Clark, commanding Regulator, out.
