: Has anyone ever noticed how easily Indy was able to lift and hold that 25 lb. solid gold idol with one hand? If solid gold is as heavy as solid lead then this is not something done very easily. Also, how could he ever think that a bag of sand would be as heavy as a "solid gold" idol? In fact, he even removes some sand for accuracy. That's what I love about Indy, a man with a few faults and bad judgments. Anyway, I'm sure some of you would like to say that the idol was hollow, but since when did ancient Peruvians master casting techniques?

Excellent point!! No way it was solid gold. He could pick it up, sure. But not the way he did.

: Any other explanations?
