: No I am not saying I am the original creator of this prop I sculpted my original out of clay using still images.
: but most of the idols you see floating around on ebay or the net came from my castings and therefore some people breach the code of ethics by duplicating my work therefor I have implanted a mark in the ark only I know where it is and if someone did it agian i will show proof that i was the original creator of FAN produced ark

: : I'm confused - are you saying you are the original maker of this prop?

: : Quoted from The Best of the Lucasfilms Archives:

: : "The idol prop itself, built by the production art department in England, was inspired by Inca and pre-Columbian art. The female figure was designed with a horrific countenance to heighten the suspense as Indy cautiously approaches the golden relic. When Spielberg sketched an image of the idol he scribbled the note: "statue seems to be watching, cursing his every step."

: : Not doubting - just curious.

Your site features a picture of one of my Grail tablet rubbings.

Not trying to start a flame war, just making a point.
