Crankwheel Mechanism Platform

Narrow platform suspended above a glowing lava pit in the Temple of Death's altar chamber. A massive crankwheel dominates the space, turning to raise or lower the adjacent sacrificial frame toward flames below. Indiana Jones fights Thuggee priests here, dodges Chattar Lal's dagger strikes, and cranks the wheel to pull Willie Scott from certain death. Heat scorches the air, chants echo off stone walls, and torchlight casts frantic shadows amid the chaos of combat and ritual horror.
