What the hell? O.o

Here we meet the foremost archaeologist in Macedonia, Pasko Kuzman. He has been excavating 3,000-year-old submerged sites in Lake Ohrid, and the first fortress of King Philip II, Alexander's father, on its shores.
Though his academic credentials are impressive, my first response is that he's a carbon dated copy of Anthony Hopkins as the lost anthropologist in the film Instinct. There's a permanent supernal glow to his face, like a religious icon — his long white hair is airborne, chest hairs pop around his Neolithic cutting-stone pendant. He's stray-dog restless, like his hero Alexander, whom he admires as a "philosopher in action."
Pasko's signature tools include three weighty watches he wears on his left wrist, what he calls his "time machines." With one he says he travels to the Bronze and Neolithic ages. With another to the future. And with the third, his "archaeological watch" with its special sensors, he makes his finds. "If it beeps twice it is silver; three times and I've struck gold."
I promise I'll really take care not to breath any dust when digging.
