[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] A third viewing calls notice to some plot holes and/or confusing story points: -- Who took the skull from Akator originally? Was it Orellana? Indy said Orellana was [i]looking for[/i] the city in the 1540s and that the skull was stolen in the 15th or 16th century. So, did Orellana find the city and take the skull when he left? If so, why did he take only one, and why not more of the treasure? -- How did the skull come to be buried with Orellana? If the natives caught him (as they must have, based on the mummification and location of burial) why did they leave the skull with him and not return it? -- The relationship between the aliens and the indigenous people is unclear. It is said that the visitors taught the people agricultural and architectural techniques and it is implied that their influence is also found in other early cultures around the world. Yet, it is also said that they were archaeologists who were collecting artifacts from these same cultures. These seem like contradictory roles: [i]directing[/i] human development versus [i]documenting[/i] it. -- What happened to the aliens that caused them to end up as skeletons in the temple? The ending seems to imply that they were inactive due to one of their collective being missing, and they were waiting for the skull to be restored. However, the theft of the skull apparently didn't happen until the 1500s, long after the city had been built up around their vessel. What were the circumstances uder which it was built and why were they just hanging out there for thousands of years? This is very confusing. -- If they are collective beings, why were the ones at Roswell and in the USSR alone? -- Why is the skull only selectively "magnetic"? -- What is up with the portal through which Spalko is sent? Why is such a portal necessary on the interior of a vessel already designed for interdimensional travel? For that matter, if interdimensional travel can be accomplished through such a portal, why is the gigantic ship necessary at all? [/QB][/QUOTE]
