: Hi,

: There's one thing I've never fully understood in Raiders of the Lost Ark. When Indy is in the map room with the staff, why does the model of Tanis have the words "Nicht Storen" (Do Not Disturb) written all over it?

: It doesn't make much sense. Belloq wouldn't want to deface the model in case it didn't reveal the right location, and as the map room was fenced off, it's highly doubtful the Nazis were ordering any wandering diggers not to touch the model city.

: -Muppet-

Belloq was pretty much object oriented here, as he probably didn't care about defacing the room if it lead him to the object he sought, the Ark. He was probably not in the room when this was done too, as the project was "enormous", as Sallah said, and a German assistant may have found this area, marked it for the "no disturbance" of the site until Belloq and co. were summoned. As usual, all conjucture, but at least a theory. Regards. Michaelson
