Things the new Indiana Jones macguffin could have been instead of a "Dial":

  • Atlantis (would be fun nod to the game)

  • Excalibur


  • A dinosaur egg (imagine the beat where the nazis tie indy to a chair and indy realizes he left the dinosaur egg by the fire when they came in. They slap him around as the egg starts wobbling behind them, hes like "ya might want to turn around, fellas..." and they scoff- right before the egg hatches and the cute baby dinosaur devours them offscreen as indy winces, then it bites him free. Turns out dinosaurs had Lost Wisdom and can sense good intent[even through the egg], movie ends with indy sending the dinosaur back to his family in Dinotopia. Just an idea off the top of my head)


  • stonehenge something...maybe the stone of scone is part of it
..nessie? Maybe part of the dinosaur story..

  • big rock candy mountain.

  • The devil's gold fiddle

  • the horn o' plenty

  • the roman Altar of Victory

a limp FIGURE wearing a fedora is carried into the room by two goons and thrown into a chair.

PINKERTON AGENT: Enough, Doctor Jones. You are my prisoner, and soon the Smithsonian will have all the specimens it could hope for...and your precious apes will be none the wiser. Now tell me...where is the Bigfoot?

FIGURE: (speaking with deep voice) RIGHT HERE!

He lifts his head, revealing a hair-covered face beneath that iconic hat. He STANDS UP- this is not INDIANA JONES-- it's BIGFOOT wearing Indy's outfit. And he's p*ssed.

PINKERTON AGENT: It's a TRICK!!!

But it's too late. BIGFOOT grabs the PINKERTON AGENT and tears him completely in half (seen in silhouette)

INDY: (watching from Vine/Log helicopter with BIGFOOT RESISTANCE MEMBERS and MIRANDA) ...NOW!!!

I was gonna say it would then be funny for a bystander on madison ave be like "say...thats got a ring to it!" (Jon Hamm/John Slattery cameo?) but its set in the 60's and i guess "dont touch that dial" is from Blondie, which started in 1939...i dont know if Indy is a Reference Joke guy... but then maybe he would do that and motion to his hippie sidekick (haven't seen the movie just assuming) and go "eh? from Blondie?" And theyd be like "what's that indy; is it anything like Star Trek?" And he'd just huff and roll his eyes before jumping onto another one of the carriages of the out-of-control ferris wheel they're both on
