This coming week, November 16-23, 2008, the National Geographic Channel is featuring videos on scientific studies they've produced lately, including nine brand new ones. Most of the videos, old and new, are on archaeology. They sent along pre-publication copies of the new videos for me to review, and some really amazing still photographs for us all to enjoy.
To celebrate, I've built an Archaeologist's Viewers Guide to Expedition Week. On the Viewer's Guide, I'm going to provide a review of each of the videos I saw, and give solid, academic context websites and journal articles as background for each one.
Each day, I'll blog that day's premiere, announcing that the new review and context is up. Currently, photos and showdates are already in the Viewers Guide for each of the premieres. The review and context for the first video--Unlocking the Great Pyramid--is up and ready to be read. This way, if you have an opinion different than mine, you can add a comment to the appropriate blog entry.
Hope you find Expedition Week: Archaeology Viewers Guide as much as fun as I am doing it!
