Dr. Ian Hunter
Background
Dr. Ian Hunter is a Mayanist working at a site in Orizaba, Mexico.
During the events of 2012: Doomsday (2008) played by Louis Graham
In Orizaba, Mexico, 36 hours before Doomsday, Dr. Hunter calls out to Frank and introduces him to Trish. Frank asks what Trish is doing there and then walks away as Dr. Hunter tells Trish, Frank and his team have been working around the clock to excavate as much as they can before the eruption of Pico de Orizaba. The ground starts to shake and Frank tells them they need to evacuate. In El Tajin, Mexico, 25 hours before Doomsday, Frank inspects the Mayan cross he found and Trish tells Frank and Dr. Hunter that the C14 sample they took ranges from 300 to 600 AD. Frank tells Dr. Hunter the cross proves early Christians were in the Americas before Christopher Columbus. Trish wants to take the cross to the national museum, but Frank insists they take it to the temple. At the Mexican Border at California, 15 hours before Doomsday, Frank, Trish and Dr. Hunter are in a car on their way to Chichen Itza. As Frank, Trish and Dr. Hunter are driving, the ground opens below them and Dr. Hunter dies after letting go of the golden cross and falling down the open chasm.
