Uncovering the past with the Houston Museum of Natural Science
Dirk Van Tuerenhout is the curator of Anthropology for the Houston Museum of Natural Science. In this wide ranging interview, Dirk tells us about how tombs are uncovered around the world, how people figured out how to embalm the dead, how artists help scientists reveal what our ancestors look like and how the museum is home to some of the most beautiful fossils in the world, including a full-sized T-Rex and a Pterodactyl. Dirk also shares his opinion about all constant fascination behind the legends of Atlantis and demonstrates that the archeology we can explore and learn from is far more interesting.
