JOHOR BARU: To the world, Indiana Jones is a fictional character made famous by American actor Harrison Ford but to Mohd Faris Johari, the fedora-wearing, bullwhip-wielding archaeologist is his hero in finding lost treasures.

The 35-year-old said he has been mesmerised by the Indiana Jones movies since he was a child growing up in Kota Tinggi.
