Indiana Jones is back! It’s been a while and I had almost lost hope that there would be another Indiana Jones adventure. But Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will be out in theaters in just a few short weeks.
Indiana Jones- Off the Beaten Path is the Indiana Jones fan’s Bible. It’s got summaries and background information on the characters for each of the movies. It even provides some hints about what could be happening in Indy’s latest adventure.
There is also an interesting section that looks at the facts and myths behind the movies. A variety of different questions are answered. There are also resources illustrating the life of an archaeologist and outlines of some of the ancient cultures touched upon in the movies.
