Betreff: What 'historical' event would be most interesting as a direct 'prequel'?

---

The idea would be to make 'prequels' to the Indiana Jones films set in the distant past. They would take place in the universe of Indy, so Francisco de Orellana would find Akatar, Thuggees would possess the Sankara Stones, etc.

I didn't include anything Ark of the Covenant related because 'The Ten Commandments' seems to have that pretty well covered. But I'd love to hear other ideas if you have any.
