: Here:

: 1931, Indiana Jones was searching for a clue to the location of the Tomb of King Tut. He was just outside of Cairo. He would hopefully find the clue, then fly to Shanghai to pick up his friend Wu Han. He had sent off most of the diggers, for he had found a certain place, a square-looking mound, covered in the yellow sand of the desert. He had about fifteen diggers left, and a few tool-handers. A sign approximately fifteen to twenty miles away from the small site warned pedestrians and diggers and tool-handers not of the dig site not to pass the sign. There were some tents scattered here and there. Indy had taken off his fedora and jacket and rolled up his sleeves beacause of the heat. One of the fifteen diggers was Indy's friend Sallah, who lead the team. The diggers finally hit some stone. the sun was beginning to set, so Indy took caution around the "mound". Indy brushed the diggers away and put his hands on the top. It was rough. Indy moved to the side and slid his hands slowly from the top edge, down. His red fingers fell slightly, and he pushed his fingernails through the bottom, then he pushed with his whole hands. It slid with a rocky sound, and fell off. Some sand fell into the mainly black opening. Sallah watched overhead in awe. Indy shouted in Egyptian >"Bring me some rope!"<. Indy grinned and laughed a moment. They were on to something.
: To be continued...

: *Brief author's note: In the prologue, I indicated that the year was 1924, but that wouldn't be right according to Temple of Doom with Shorty's age. My correction is: The year is 1922... Sorry for any confusion.*

Cool so far! So we get to see both Wu Han and Sallah in the same story. Very interesting! :D

One question, though: if Short Round is four years old in 1922, that would make him 17 in Temple of Doom (1935)! He was not that old in the movie!

I look forward to reading more chapters! :)
