Seekers of ancient truths or obtainers of rare antiquities. A list of films and TV shows featuring treasure hunters, adventurers and scholars.

See also: Mummy movies (http://www.imdb.com/list/XnsMieNzNuo/), which often feature archaeologists, although they are often unfortunate victims. I also have an occult detective list (http://www.imdb.com/list/N1elE6aMxSs/), which has some crossover with this list, as well as being another well-known archetype.
