Virgin Dune Over the Well of Souls
Indiana Jones perches on a higher dune and aligns his surveyor's instrument with map-room coordinates, tracing a line past the Nazi encampment to this untouched swell of sand. The virgin patch stands deceptive and undisturbed amid the dig frenzy, hiding the true Well of Souls entrance. Hot desert wind stirs fine grains as Indy's sharp 'There!' pinpoints the site's secrets, sharpening the race against Belloq and fueling urgent excavation.
