I have read the interview with McGregor and he didn't really know what the symbol at the beginning of each chapter meant. However, in reading the novels I think that McGregor (in particular) found a meaning for it As those who have read his books know that the eagle is Indy's animal spirit (Indy went on a vision quest and this is mentioned in the novel of LC) and the symbol is an eagle. My theory is that the eagle is Indy and is also a symbol for being an American. The eagle is over water representing that he is well travelled. Any thoughts?
