Stupid post, but you know how in Raiders of the Lost Ark, you see his house and it's a typical, even slightly small house. Not exactly living the high life.
You'd gotta think he'd be pretty ticked off when he finds out all the other archeologists pretty much just get a permit, and have a relaxing cup of tea in between some digging where they uncover artifacts, meanwhile he's making the same amount of money, but nearly dying about a dozen times each excursion.
I'd be like "I should be living in a mansion right now....not one of these other archeologists have to be so good with a whip that they can whip the gun out of a guys hand right before he shoots you, or in good enough shape to run away from a giant 2 ton boulder....this is some bullcrap".
The Great Circle game makes a point that a lot of what he finds goes to the university museum where he teaches. He does get results but the world changing finds always slip through his fingers and a lot of the events that happen along the way can't be substantiated.
