Cryptarch is an insult to archaeologists everywhere

What a horrible way to portray archaeology. Thanks for converting another few million kids these days into thinking stupid things like "only nerds would be an archaeologist" because of some awful representation in a video game. As a future archaeologist I resent the cryptarch for defaming us. Just remember Lara Croft is an archaeologist. So we are still badass and cool, just not in this game.

  • He's a cryptologist not an archeologist.

    • Well... He IS an Archaeologist. The fact of the matter is, Archaeology is the study of human history or prehistory. He specializes in encrypted data that can be decrypted into plans for weapons, armor, or fashionable objects (Class Items) Now, obviously this would just be the business side of the equation. Crypto-Archeology may deal with the information gathering of Human History through hacking, decoding, decrypting, or otherwise clearing up Data to understand the past. Imagine an old Dell Computer. Instead of slowly picking away at the dirt and rock around the object, the man would slowly read and decode the information stored on the hard drive. Though the method is different(barely), the result is the same. Imagine you're in the Middle East, and you find a tablet written in an unknown language. Would you not attempt to decrypt the language and read the words written? Would you not ask people who have similar tablets, with no knowledge of the art of your craft, to give you them in exchange for a small service, easily carried out? You are a disgrace to Archeology for being Narrow Minded as to how history can be observed. In hundreds of years, mayhaps this is how archaeology will be. I hope you do not try to insult anyone in real life for studying in the same way as this fictional character does. I also have a series of questions: Do you kill Monsters, Tomb Raiders, and Poachers on a regular basis? Do you use your vast wealth to save humanity, time and time again from mythical and fantastical dangers? Do you have Martial Arts training, as well as General Weapons training? Before you reply with a vulgar and ignorant response, please try to understand what I have said. And I would enjoy your answers to my questions!

            When I think of Archaeologists I think of Dr. Ross Geller from Friends. What was Indiana Jones?
