I recently started watching Ancient Mysteries with Leonard Nimoy. I find this type of content fascinating and it is what I intend to major in. I highly recommend watching Ancient Mysteries, if history and archaeology are interests of yours, it is available on Prime Video. Anthropology is an extremely fascinating science imo, and I would like to discuss it with anyone interested.
Thoughts on Anthropology

I minored in Anthropology in college. (1971-1975) I really love history, the older the better. (I majored in Biological Science) A professor told me that if I tried to run a dig, especially overseas, no man would listen to me. I got more use out of my degree in Biological Science anyway. But I still love archaeology, anthro, and paleontology and keep up with it all.
I especially am interested in ancient Egypt, and fossils like dinosaurs ever since I was a kid.
What are your areas of special interest?
Honestly, if you want to make a living from your degree, I don't know if anthropology is the way to go. You would probably need a doctorate and that would be expensive.
I am planning to go the professor route. I am also planning to pursue my doctorate. I don't have a desired university, planning to go wherever the wind takes me.
The areas of special interest are American civilization, especially the Mayans and Amazonian tribes. I have recently been researching ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptian art is interesting, and Old Kingdom art is one of my favorites.
Hmm ok, I'll check it out. That sounds interesting.
