Smith continued telling the ABC that: "In Crystal Skull, as in the other films, Indiana Jones walks a fine line between collecting and looting."

Of course, it IS important to remember that Indiana Jones is a fictional character, he’s in a blockbuster Hollywood movie, and is expected to save the day, his life, those of his companions, beat the bad guys and get the goodies – all by the skin of his teeth.

In real life, Indiana Jones may well have ended up entombed in the aforementioned sites, waiting to be discovered by archaeologists of the future.

But that wouldn’t be Hollywood, would it?

Clearly, a movie called “Indiana Jones and the Time He Didn’t Make It” won’t be made anytime soon.

And if there is yet another movie, we can be certain archaeologists will be up in arms again – while loving the fact it brings new students into the fold every single time.
