Dora the Explorer believes archaeologists dig for treasure.
In Dora’s Big Dig by Alison Inches (Simon Spotlight, 2006), Dora digs up a turquoise stone and tells her monkey friend that she should take the stone to her mami, because “My mami is an archeologist. That means she digs for ancient treasure!”

The misinformation starts at a young age.
