Tanis Dig Concealment Tent

A tent stands amid the chaotic Tanis excavation site under morning light. Indiana Jones and Sallah, disguised as Arab diggers, ride in the back of Sallah's truck. The truck passes behind the tent, shielding the pair from Nazi guards' view. They vanish completely, slipping past scrutiny into the camp's heart without detection.

Disguised Into the Dig: Indy and Sallah Vanish

The concealment tent provides the short window of visual cover that allows Indy and Sallah to slip unnoticed from the truck into the camp. Its placement blocks line-of-sight long enough for them to vanish and reappear elsewhere.

Before: Set up among other tents in the Tanis camp, serving as ordinary shelter and obstructing sight-lines.

After: Remains standing and functionally unchanged, having served as a temporary blind spot that enabled covert movement.
