Behind the scenes[]
Indiana Jones and the Dance of the Giants is set in the summer of 1925 when Indiana Jones begins teaching at London University and initiates what will be his on-again, off-again relationship with Deirdre Campbell[7] which nevertheless culminates with marriage the following year in Indiana Jones and the Seven Veils (and Deirdre's death soon after).[13] However, Indiana Jones: The Ultimate Guide places his romantic involvement with Marion Ravenwood from Spring and Autumn 1925[2] where The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones has Abner Ravenwood inviting Jones to a dig by letter in the June of that year in which it's mentioned that Ravenwood's friend and protégé has teaching obligations at Marshall College.[8]
The defunct Marshall College database of the official website as well as the 2009 and 2010 Indiana Jones Annuals placed Jones and Marion's liaison in 1926, a more literal interpretation of Marion, during the 1936 setting of Raiders of the Lost Ark, saying it has been ten years since she last saw Jones.
