: : Title: Indiana Jones and the Staff of Ages

: : Item: The staff carried by Moses when he led the Israelites out of bondage. There are references in the old testament to the staff itself being imbued with the power of god. The staff could cause plagues, atmospheric disturbances, cataclysmic seismic events, death of first borns, etc. The staff, in the movie, could be described as being hewed by Adam from the tree of knowledge before he left the garden of eden (maybe Indy could say that older texts which the church had disavowed state this). The staff could have a backstory, appearing in several different cultures, always causing catastrophe when the people stray from God's word. The destruction of Mount Sinai (why we can't find it today, if it ever existed at all) was caused when the israelities tried to use the staff after they unrighteously worshipped the golden calf. One of the eight tribes carried the staff forth (the only remaining pure tribe) and used its power to create paradise on an island. That island...

: : you guessed it, Atlantis!! Or some other location that has been destroyed and is now partially underwater, or completely underwater.

: :
: : The atlanteans turned unrighteous, causing God to get angry, when they used the staff bad things happened.

: : The bad guys: German communists in 1950's. The german communists have some russian stooges with them, but what they really want is the power of the staff to defeat Russian communism and supplant it. Some of them may have nazi leanings...

: : The good guys: Indy. Marion appears in the initial scene, but dies when old enemies of indy try to kill him. This causes Indy to cease the adventuring life. Marion dies before they completely forgive each other. Maybe Indy could have a long lost son...who knows. Indy's dad should appear at some point.

: : Locations: The university, an undersea destroyed city of Atlantis, a desert location in the Middle East where Sinai used to stand, and the Canary islands. Atlantis should be off the coast of Africa. (Indy's tagline: submarine's... not again.

: : That's about it. I figured the new relic should be something biblically related. Maybe the staff could get sucked back into Eden at the end, killing all the Nazis and finally destroying Atlantis for good. Maybe some Atlanteans could have survived, inbreeding for generations and all that. Just thought it would make a good film.
