Comments on: Peru: Pointing Out Errors in the New Indiana Jones Movie http://globalvoicesonline.org/2008/06/13/45377/ The world is talking. Are you listening?

This cult classic has terrific footage of Machu Picchu, Cuzco Airport and the Plaza de Armas in Cuzco. Heston as gringo Harry Steele was the template Spielberg used for Indiana Jones. There is fabulous footage of Yma Sumac giving it all she's got. This movie is undiscovered treasure.

It seems a continuing fantasy, from Eric von Daniken to the Mormons, that southern cultures did not invent themselves. Interesting about the alien source of Andean cultures.

When "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" came out in 1984, I was in Seattle, WA., and the local Hindus there picketed the theater to protest his depiction of a bloodthirsty Kali Ma. Wonder how Spielberg would feel if some filmmaker depicted Jehovah as a bloodthirsty god demanding little baby boys' foreskins? Don’t feel too badly, people of Peru.

That the original story came from a volunteer working with Dr. Jones in some or another "dig", actually seeking the hiding place of the "Ark of the Covenant" of the "Temple" built by King Solomon of ancient Israel. I tried to get followup information from the news source at that time but got no response. If anyone knows anything more about this, I'd be interested...
