Wizened words form the archeologist in the burial chamber under the rotunda calendar:
Leave off the rope old chap, be a good fellow. I have a frightfully valuable artifact down here. Oh no [crash.] I had a terribly valuable artifact down here.

I say leave off the rope old chap, be a jolly good sport. I say uh oh... oh no... blimey [fall, thud]

I say quit mucking about up there. Oh blast, not again [fall, crash].

Blast it all, you don't want to pull the rope. [crash] oh dear.

Careful while I translate this... Let's see "twenty years of sorrow to the destroyer of this vessel" [crash.]

Indiana, I concur with your findings. Visitors were lured to the temple with the promises of gifts, but once they looked into the eyes of the god they were doomed. I believe you can gain access to the inner temple if you avoid this trap!
Good Luck

Sallah,
Today I'm trying out the hidden passage we talked about. I'm convinced it leads to the "Jewel of Power." I know you wanted to go with me but I need you out here to keep the tourists in line. If one of them decides to go eyeball to eyeball with the god, its adios amigo. Indiana

Sallah, Learned of the news of Indy's disappearance. Study all references to the "gates of doom." They seem to guard the "Jewel of Power" perhaps Indy made it past the lethal force of that trap then he would have found the immense cavern where the Jewel is stored.

Professor, Marcus Brody informed us that you have located the temple. We are anxiously awaiting reports. By the way, an old friend of yours-a Dr. Belloq-called and I passed along your whereabouts to him. I believe he wants to join you at the site:
Best of Luck.

My good man, We are sympathetic to Jones' "grave questions" About the safety of the site. But we are not prepared to shut it down at this time - Carry on! You are doing a smashing job getting the tourists through unharmed. Regards, Col. Blumbard

Sallah,
Rotten luck Reports of "Temple of the Forbidden Eye" have hit the newspapers and newsreels. It's shaping up to be the biggest thing since Santa Claus. Counting on you to control the feeding frenzy until I return. Have deciphered a new map that may lead to the power source of the temple. I intend to try. Watch out for that snake Belloq! Indiana

Dear Indy,
Received the rubbings yesterday. Pictographs tell of gifts of eternal beauty, riches, et cetera. But warning in the lower left was added at a much later date. Something about eyes and death. I can't quite make it out. I'm still working on it.

So you have found the mysterious temple of the forbidden eye! Congratulations! But please proceed with caution. Sources in Calcutta tell me this temple of yours has a darker side. Legend has it that Pilgrims who were lured there with promises of great gifts were never seen again!
Yours truly,
Abner Ravenwood

Indy,
Greetings old friend. Here is the missing piece of the temple map! Fortune truly shines on the pure of heart! (and he who has a brother-in-law in the black market!) God go with you and I will join you as well.

Notes on Maps, Rubbings and Drawings:

Temple of the forbidden eye, Lost delta region, India. Discovered by Dr. Indiana Jones Circa 1935 - Flood debris. It is theorized that the temple was buried in a flood over 2000 years ago. Much of the temple, however, was built in underground chambers. [in red] Watch out for the crocks. Get some reinforcements up here before a stone falls and kills someone, Indy.

Snake column braziers once used to light ceremonial fires. Bas relief in 'promise of youth' corridor - note empty husk of elder. Wall paintings in promise of youth corridor depicting the old transforming into the youthful.

Common Motif found throughout the temple complex:

Bowl: Earthly Riches
Jug: Fountain of Youth
Amulet: Future Vision

Bas relief found in hall of promise:
Indy believes the bas relief depicts Mara looking into the minds of his worshipers to discover their greatest secret desire - note eyes are closed so it is safe to look at this Mara.

Youthful Mara statue A 612 13X found in the promise of youth corridor - 12'-0" approx.

Absolutely no snakes in my office!! Indy.
