The Temple of the Crystal Skull A big one this. This is, apparently, the Lost Temple of Akator, and almost certainly the location of the movie's climax. The set includes the temple; a little truck; figures of Indy, Spalko, Mutt, a Soviet soldier, two Mayans (although they look like gingerbread men), a skeleton in a helmet and three other skeletons WITH CRYSTAL SKULLS! What it might teach us: The temple appears to have shades of the Temple of the Chachapoyan Warriors from the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's full of booby traps, including a collapsing staircase, tumbling skulls and a great big waterfall. Those crystal skulls may well be from aliens. They're certainly oddly-shaped for human skulls. The strangest thing is that they seem to have little blue brains inside. What on earth these signify is beyond us. Others have sought the crystal skulls. One of the skeletons appears to be wearing a Spanish conquistador helmet. The Spanish conquered the Mayans in the 16th century, so might the film suggest that it was for the purpose of obtaining the crystal skull? There's machinery in the temple. On the top of the structure, there's a strange satellite-esque thing that opens up to reveal a small dome. There's nothing on the dome, but is this possibly some kind of doohicky for communicating with something far, far away? Gingerbread men control the world.
