Sorry if this has been discussed. I had a look for a discussion.
When it is seemingly apparent that the Ark contains only sand, one thought occurred to me: Belloq and Dietrich didn't really investigate too far as the powers of the Ark interrupted any further looking. They were indulging their initial disappointment very well.
Depending on how deep the sand was, perhaps the stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments were buried just beneath the sand and the sand provided a type of motion buffer to prevent the tablets from damage whenever the Ark was moved?
Just a thought on this Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas to all as well.
