I can only think of 2 biblical Macguffins left:

1) The Spear of Destiny - I thought I read somewhere that this was the inspiration for Raiders, because the real Hitler was looking for the spear that lanced Christ because he thought it had magical properties. This might be a neat idea for an Indy film because it is steeped in some real nazi history.

I think there was a comic about this, it even starred Henry Jones Sr.

how about a magical artifact from Norse mythology? it could be interesting :whip:


ps: But I wouldn't mind a biblical artifact at all. The Spear of Destiny sounds really interesting.

The Spear of Destiny (Lance of Longinus) would be interesting, wouldn't it?

:)
It's not an interesting idea, which is why the movie wisely used it as a fake out. Brilliant. It was oft suggested as a possible mcguffin and I'm so glad they used it as they did, basically mocking the mere suggestion as being lame and unimaginative (which it is!)
