For a long time, Henrik wanted to become an archaeologist. Then he became one. For a while.

Many people dream of becoming an archaeologist, until they start thinking.

Henrik's dream of becoming an archaeologist was inspired by his stay in the Middle East as a boy. But rather than digging Roman temples and uncovering pyramids, he settled for a university education and a brief career (a total of 12 months) in Nordic archaeology. He has taken part in digs and registrations spanning from the Stone Age to recent urban history.

He also contributed script, music and sound effects to an experience museum related to Viking Age iron production.

And no matter how patiently you work in vain, it is rewarding to uncover a fibula worn by a Bronze Age person.

Archaeology in Norway implies a number of rare experiences:

- You get to see the places that God forgot (i e wilderness and remote crossroads).
- You have no other available pastime than alcohol.
- You work and live together with people at least as weird as yourself.
