So, he’s already gone after lost arks, holy stones, holy grails, and (I assume, not having seen the movie) crystal skulls.  What should he go for next, if there are further movies?  Thor’s hammer?  The Palladium of Troy?  A Russian hut on chicken legs?  The tortoise-shell rattle of the Huruing Wuhti?  King Arthur’s Excalibur?  A book on proper archaeological techniques and methodology?  Something else?

Social security?

Oooh, Thor’s Hammer would be cool, and so would Excalibur!  Dave suggested Merlin’s staff.

I’d like to see something with the library at Alexandria, since they’ve already messed up a bunch of the rest of history… It could even tie in a neat conspiracy as to why people thought it burned, etc.

I’m thinking that it should be something vaguely religious.  Look at the objects he already went after; all were of religious significance.  so I’m thinking something Greek, perhaps the Helmet of Perseus? (Invisibility), Odysseus’ Bow?, Hmmm. It’ll take some research…. 

*...goes off to his ‘moldy old things’ section…*

Indiana Jones and the Pension Book

Indiana Jones and the Tibetan Zimmerframe

Indiana Jones and the Search for the Dentures

Indiana Jones and the Hearing Aid of the gods

Incontinence Jones and the Special Underwear.

Indiana Jones and the Headstone of Finality.

hmm

The One Ring

The Holy McGuffin

Spear Of Destiny

The Wardrobe (the one to Narnia)

Ruby Slippers

Any religious artifacts associated with the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

And, of course, the Fountain of Youth is probably looking pretty good to him about now.  (Though he had the Holy Grail at one time that offered immortality (lot of good it did his dad) it didn’t offer youth.)

Palladium of Troy has been done (see Irregular Webcomic).

I’ve got some stuff in my room he could try and look for..

Yeah, but that’s Monty Jones, not Indiana.

And now the fifth movie in the series:  Indiana Jones and the Visit to the Library for a Copy of “Dianetics”.  Hmmmm.  I’m not sure if the estate of L. Ron Hubbard would go along with Spielberg and Lucas on that.

Indiana Jones and the lost fossils of Zhoukoudian (“Raiders of the lost Peking Man”)
