: All this repeated confusion on this subject stems from people not understanding the Knight when he states that the Grail cannot pass the great seal...

: ****That is the boundary and price of immortality****

: But, because the Grail DID pass the Great Seal (thanks to Elsa), the
: immortality was LOST. Plus, anyone drinking from the Grail is supposed to stay and guard it, thus the price of immortality. If a Knight passed the seal after guarding the Grail for say 900 years, he would lose his immortality and probably die in the desert. That's why the other Knight never made it.

: So, if Indy had remained in the cave would he be immortal? NO! Because the Grail crossed the Great Seal! But, the alternative scenario, if Elsa hadn't crossed the Seal with the Grail and Indy or Henry or anybody had stayed with the Grail, they would have been immortal. If you listen to the dialogue, it helps a lot.

So does a good night's sleep, if you're finding you're as irritable as nitzsche here.

P.S. You could try cutting down on your coffee intake too.
