: : I know that the nazi's had the wrong staff length because only one side of the ra headpiece was burned into toht's hand. But, how did they figure out where to dig, they didn't have a headpiece to shoot a laser at the a spoton the map room floor, all they had was the writings describing the staff length. Second, Why did only looking away from the ark save indy and marion? Third, Did the sub indy was on ever go underwater? If so how did indy get inside? It doesn't make sense to be in a sub and travel on the surface.

: My answers (for what they are worth) are as follows:

: 1. The Nazis made a replica of the headpiece from Toht's scar.

: 2. Perhaps looking away from the ark saved Indy and Marion's lives in
: a similar way that not looking at the destruction of Sodom would
: save you from being turned into a pillar of salt (of was it the
: destruction of Gehmora [sp?]... my memory of the biblical story
: seems a little blurry this late at night).

: 3. The sub probably never went underwater... given the additional
: power drain necessary for a sub to travel while submerged, subs
: would only submerge (usually) during combat. Given the events
: of Raiders took place before WWII, the Nazis would not likely
: have traveled while submerged.

It was Sodom AND Gomorrah, both, that were destroyed. Chapter 19 of the Book of Genesis, if anyone want's to read about it.
