: I have been following closely the discussion about the Ark in the movie. I think that the treatment of the Grail was a little questionable, but that is neither here nor there.
: However, in all of the mythology I have read (and admitedly, I haven't read a lot of early Indian, Vedic or Hindu mythology) I have never come across a reference to the legend described by Indy in ToD. Is there really a legend of Sankara the prophet, and his five sacred stone for fighting evil?

Now I'm not sure about any specific stories about the stones being used to combat evil, but the Sivalinga is a very important Hindu icon. Go here for some specifics and photos:
