Gates will appear on the AAA Travel Stage at the Great Vacations Travel EXPO at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 4. He will share incredible details of his most nail-biting adventures, including his discovery of a mysterious “Yeti” footprint in the Himalayas, which is now on display in the Expedition Everest attraction at Walt Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Orlando. In addition to having the unique opportunity to see Gates in person, EXPO guests will get to ask him questions and meet him for autographs following his stage appearance. From scouring the countryside of Japan in search of a mystical samurai sword to descending into pitch-black caverns in Mexico to discover the secrets of the Maya, Gates’ Travel Channel crew has trekked to the most remote corners of the planet in immersive and exhilarating, yet hilarious, journeys of discovery. Expedition Unknown blends Gates’ unique brand of humor with his passion for exploration. An avid scuba diver and photographer, Josh has participated in sub-sea archaeological excavations. His unconventional career allows him to use his dual degrees from Tufts University, in archeology and drama, while his wanderlust has taken him to more than 90 countries, from sweltering African deserts to the icy shores of Antarctica. Prior to joining the Travel Channel team, Josh co-produced and starred in the hit Syfy Channel series, Destination Truth, where each week, he and his fearless team investigated age-old mysteries, recent paranormal reports and cryptozoological sightings. Gates also hosted the immensely popular Ghost Hunters television series, exploring haunted sites around the globe. His 2011 bestselling book, “Memoirs of a Monster Hunter,” reveals the inside scoop on more of his wild excursions, which have resulted in appearances on The Today Show, CNN and a variety of other national television and radio programs. The Great Vacations Travel EXPO, presented by AAA, opens Friday, Feb. 3 and runs through Sunday, Feb. 5, at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Downtown Columbus. Hours are Friday, noon to 7 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets are $8 at the door or at any AAA Ohio Auto Club store.

As host of Discovery Channel’s smash-hit series Expedition Unknown, Gates crisscrosses the globe to explore archaeological wonders and enduring legends. Gates will tell his tales on the AAA Travel Stage Sunday, Feb. 9, 2020 at noon. Following his appearance, EXPO guests will have the chance to ask Gates questions and meet him for autographs. In his latest season of Expedition Unknown, Gates braved sub-zero temperatures to snowmobile across Siberia investigating one of the coldest cases of the Cold War: the baffling deaths of nine hikers on Russia’s infamous “Dead Mountain.” Gates also explored the Holy Land as he descended into newly discovered caves and tunnels that could hold the next Dead Sea Scrolls. An avid adventurer, scuba diver and photographer, Gates has participated in sub-sea archaeological excavations in the Mediterranean, and his wanderlust has taken him to more than 100 countries -- from sweltering African deserts to the icy shores of Antarctica. In addition, he has scaled “the roof of Africa” on Mt. Kilimanjaro and climbed Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in the Americas.

Ancient Rome the Spread of Christianity
Ancient Rome The Spread of Christianity ● The notes on Christianity mentioned that Jesus was crucified, but they don’t go into great detail as to why ○ While there was general religious tolerance in the Roman Empire, people were supposed to put the emperor and Roman gods above all else (remember that Rome was a polytheistic culture prior to adopting Christianity as their state-sponsored religion) ○ Romans were trying to avoid more Jewish revolts and viewed Jesus as a threat to their power (i.e. they didn’t want to get overthrown) ○ In Crash Course World History #11, John Green states that the Romans condemned Jesus to death, not the Jewish people ■ The simple answer to that is that both groups didn’t want Jesus around ■ In the New Testament of the Bible, the Roman Governor of Judea Pontius Pilate literally “washes his hands” of killing Jesus after his wife had a dream about Jesus and she begged for his life to be spared ■ In the same story, the Jewish people in the crowd chose to free a murder known as Barabbas instead of Jesus The Spread of Christianity ● Prior to his death, Jesus predicted that one of the twelve apostles was going betray him (Judas) ● Jesus was crucified on a hill called Golgotha in Jerusalem...if you remember completing a worksheet on the city of Jerusalem way back when, there was a location on the map called the Church of the Holy Sepulchre: the church was built on top of the hill that Jesus was crucified on ● Had we been in school, we were going to watch an Expedition Unknown Episode on finding the cross that Jesus was crucified on ○ Legend claims that Constantine sent his mother Helena to Jerusalem in AD 326 to find the cross ○ Helena found a cross on the hill of Golgotha & in order to prove it was indeed the cross that Jesus died on, she had a sick woman touch it.

The American Archivist Reviews Date Posted: December 20, 2018
The American Archivist Reviews Date posted: December 20, 2018 http://reviews.americanarchivist.org They’re Digging in the Wrong Place: The Influence of Indiana Jones on the Archives Reviewed by Samantha Cross, CallisonRTKL, Inc. Tell me if this sounds familiar: you’re chatting with friends, family members, maybe complete strangers and the subject of professions pops up. They ask you what you do for a living, and you reply with, “I’m an archivist.” Their response, “Oh, like in Indiana Jones?” Now, there are a few ways to handle this situation. One, flip every table you can find and drop to your knees shouting at superhero-level “NO!” before setting fire to an expensive coat and leaving a you-shaped Bugs Bunny-esque hole in the wall as you disappear into the wilderness. Two, internalize their ignorance and drive it deep down into the void that was once your soul before everyone started making that same statement. Or three, take the more contemplative approach and explain what an archivist is and why the comparison to Indiana Jones isn’t accurate. I’d recommend the third option, mainly because it’s less psychologically damaging and you’re less likely to be arrested for property damage. But to each their own. Kidding aside, the truth of the matter is that I’ve gotten the Indiana Jones remark more times than I can count, which led me to wonder why that reference is so prevalent. Is it because archaeologist, Indy’s actual profession in the films, and archivist contain the same arch- root word? For the record, archive comes from the Greek arkheia meaning “public records,” which stems from arkhē meaning “government” while archaeology stems from the Greek arkhaios meaning “ancient.”1 Or, is it a genuine misconception due to the fact that the closing scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark is the only pop culture frame of reference most people have of archives? From what I can tell, it’s a combination of the two.
