:17:03
and hidden it in a secret chamber
called the Well of Souls...
:17:07
Secret chamber....
:17:08
However, about a year after
the pharaoh had returned to Egypt,
:17:12
the city of Tanis was consumed
by the desert in a sandstorm
:17:16
which lasted a whole year,
:17:18
wiped clean by the wrath of God.
:17:24
Obviously we've come to the right men,
you seem to know all about this Tanis.
:17:28
No, no, not really.
Ravenwood is the real expert.
:17:32
Abner did the first serious work on Tanis,
collected some of its relics.
:17:37
It was his obsession really.
But he never found the city.
:17:41
Frankly, we're somewhat
suspicious of Mr. Ravenwood.
:17:44
An American being mentioned
so prominently in a secret Nazi cable.
:17:48
Oh rubbish! Ravenwood's no Nazi.
:17:50
What do the Nazis want him for then?
:17:53
Obviously, the Nazis are looking for
the headpiece to the Staff of Ra
:17:56
and they think Abner's got it...
:17:58
What exactly is a head piece to the staff of Ra?
:18:01
The Staff is just a stick...about this big.
:18:04
Nobody really knows for sure how high it is...
:18:08
it's capped by an elaborate headpiece,
:18:11
in the shape of a sun with a crystal in the center.
:18:14
And what you did was you take
this Staff to a special room in Tanis,
:18:18
a map room, a miniature of the
city all laid out on the floor.
:18:21
And if you put the Staff in a
certain place at a certain time of day,
:18:24
the sun shone through here and made
a beam that came down on the floor here,
:18:30
and gave you the exact location
of the Well of the Souls.
:18:32
Where the Ark of the Covenant was kept, right?
:18:35
That's exactly what the Nazis are looking for!
:18:37
What does this Ark look like?
:18:41
There is a picture of it right here.
:18:47
That's it.
:18:56
Good God!
:18:57
Yes, that's just what the Hebrew's thought.
