It is billed as the film of the summer, if not the year, but Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is unlikely to topple Exeter's very own Screaming Skull of Sowton.
That's Dennis 'Indiana' Price, the city's archaeologist and adventurer who, with his own skull, bull whip and sidekick, Anette Viberg, has done it all long before the Hollywood version opens at cinemas next Thursday.Mr Price, who lives in Sowton village, became a raider of the lost king, when he battled his way back from the bowels of the earth deep beneath Britain's only official pyramid, also known as a ziggurat.
Interesting chap, no doubt about it.
