INDIANA JONES: THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL, FACT OR FICTION?

I know we’ve all been looking forward to the fourth instalment in the Indiana Jones series but some of the things they used in the movies may be shocking from a scientist’s point of view. The story for the fourth film is that archaeologist Indiana Jones and his kid helper Mut hear of an old Mayan skull that gives great power to the holder. Indy and his friend set out to find the skull, but on the way they meet a female Nazi with a violent temper. They will also encounter more Nazi’s, giant boulders, hidden traps and unfriendly native Mayans. And as I said the things they use just don’t match the Mayans, for example the stone they used for the temple is granite while the Mayans used other rock from the mountains. Also the carvings on the walls are not at all like the Mayan carvings on real temples. So if a scientist would enter the set of this film he should take a close look around.
