Indiana Jones Explores the Incas
Malam
1996
Thanks to submitter who was horrified to discover that this was the only item in the library about Inca culture. Submitter also included a sample page of our man Indy overlooking what must be Inca traffic! Now I am kind of sorry submitter didn’t explain more of why on earth Indiana Jones seems to be overlooking a major Inca traffic jam. Wait! I am so stupid! It is probably weekend traffic headed for Machu Picchu!

Even better? That tuxedo shot is from the opening of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom….in Shanghai (and then moving on to India).

never seen so many VW beetles in one picture!
Is the second picture what has happened to Machu Picchu since the arrival of “civilization”?

The map on the cover is COMPLETELY off too. The Incan empire never expanded to the Atlantic.

The traffic is on the Passeo de Republica in Lima feeding into the Central City from the south. If memory serves, that is somewhere close to the exit to Avenue Javier Prado.
The Incas are driving the taxis.

Well Chuck, since Mexico just stopped making that model of the Beetle like 10 yrs ago, that pic could have been taken in 1995. But, the truly dangerous thing is, I think I see a CORVAIR up there ahead, human sacrifice? Oh, wait, that was the Mayas!

My highschool library still has this book. I had to clean a penis off Indy’s head a few years ago. Shows how much the kids appreciate it.

I should not be reading these comments (or, really, this blog) in public – people are going to think I’m crazy, what with all the not-well-suppressed laughter.

I would rather Indiana Jones explore ME.

I remember these! It was part of a series; I think there was an Aztecs edition too.
