: Not turning into Jack Shannon? Huh?

: Anyway, yes, the costume Belloq wore is the priestly garment decribed in the Bible to be worn by the High Priest when doing anything with the Ark.
: The twelve stones on the breastplate stand for the Twelve Tribes and so-on.
: With the possiblity that the Ark may be recovered, the Orthodox Jews in Israel have been trying to re-construct the outfit (there are some very piddly details in its makeup) over the last few years.

How VERY interesting!! What about the Ram's Head Staff Belloq also holds? That could be fictional, but all the accurate details just on the robe make me wonder if this is MORE than just an Indy artifact.
"Very 'piddly'". --That sounds like something my English father would say!!
Oh yes, do you have a question on the "Jack Shannon" part? In the novel "Gensis Deluge", it describes his VERY different change of attitude.
He WAS in a "gang", after all.
(I think?:-)
Adventurously,
