Ancient Temple Entrance
Temple Main Entrance
Shadowed archway choked with hanging plants and jagged stalactites frames the boundary between jungle humidity and the temple's dank interior. Dripping water echoes through whistling drafts as claws scurry unseen. Torchlight exposes the tight inclined passage ahead. Indy later sprints toward its lighted opening, hat crushed behind him, and dives through to daylight as a massive boulder thunders into place, sealing the inner sanctum forever.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
Boulder Chase — Temple Sealed
The temple main entrance/exit is the target of Indy's flight and the exact point where the boulder achieves its form-fit seal; it transforms from doorway to tomb as the stone slams into place.
Atmosphere
Blinding contrast between the promising light of escape and the dust-choked violence of collapsing stone.
Functional Role
Escape route that becomes a blocked egress; the locus where freedom is narrowly achieved and the temple’s interior is forfeited.
Symbolic Significance
The threshold between the world of danger/temptation and the world outside—here physically closed off, marking loss and consequence.
Access Restrictions
After the boulder slams, the entrance is impassible and sealed.
