Michael Moorcroft - Archaeology

I want to dig in Egypt,
To find in the sand,
A long forgotten crypt,
Buried in the ancient land.

My finds would be on display,
Unlike eighty five percent,
Of the artefacts hidden away,
From public sight today.

I wish to search the jungle,
And find all of the lost cities,
Of the once glorious Maya,
Even though they have crumbled.

My finds would rival Tikkal,
A city built without mortar,
A knife could not invade,
In between a brick.

Lemuria?
Atlantis?
The monuments of Mu?
(Easter Island to me and you) .

I think I’ll be an archaeologist.
