Object
Heavy Stone Door to the Well of Souls
Indy and Sallah oversee men wielding prying tools on this massive stone slab. Two men flop it fully open, exposing a 30-foot torch-lit chamber ringed in hieroglyphics and pillars, with an altar holding a stone chest amid writhing Egyptian asps. The door withstands force before yielding access to the snake-infested pit.
