Adventures in Saudi Arabia
In 1932 an unknown archaeologist working for the Smithsonian Institution passed through Saudi Arabia while cataloging the world's artifacts.
In June 1934, Indiana Jones planned an expedition into the Rub al Khali Desert after months of preparation to search for the remnants of a nomadic culture that predated Christ. However, Jones found that René Emile Belloq had preempted him and conducted an extensive excavation.
At some point, the Black Stone went missing from its resting place in Mecca for a time.
