Meanwhile, in Belgium, virologist Marc Van Ranst told everyone that the Easter Bunny has an essential job, and will distribute the chocolate easter eggs as usual, and that the police have been notified of the Easter Bunny's presence.

The BBC (which I can watch from Egypt thanks to my VPN) is showing Raiders of the Lost Ark for the [Western] Easter holiday weekend.

It always puts a smile on my face to watch such a realistic documentary about my life. It's uncanny; it's almost as if Spielberg, Lucas, and Kasden managed to get inside my head.

Dr. Jones, you are complicit in the mess. Why didnt you inform the proper authorities that there were experimental nazi warplanes in the canal zone. I am sure General Weir would have been interested in what you saw. So why didnt you tell him??.

Ah, well, I have an answer for this now.

Watching the documentary again, they keep describing the site as 'Tanis' and in 'the desert outside Cairo'; and clearly the site that the Nazis are excavating is primarily from the peak of the New Kingdom. In real life, Tanis is in the lush Nile Delta, not too far (as you point out) from the modern Canal, and primarily dates from the Third Intermediate Period and Late Period.

Knowing that Raiders is in fact a documentary helps us identify that 'Tanis' in the film is not supposed to be the actual Tanis, but was rather chosen to obscure the site of ancient Heliopolis, a major centre of worship of the sun god (hence the Greek name) Atum/Ra that was occupied through most of Ancient Egyptian history, and is today located in the outer eastern Cairo suburb of Ain Shams - which is Arabic for 'Eye of the Sun'. The connection between the Greek and modern Arabic names of the city and one of the key points of the documentary involving my manipulation of sun's rays hardly needs to be explained further.

It was courteous of Spielberg, Lucas, and Kasden to change the name of Heliopolis to 'Tanis' in order to obscure the actual site, and avoid the type of looting that I'm sure we would all condemn. And knowing that they've transposed the name of Tanis to the actual site of Heliopolis helps to explain away that gnawing great big plot hole of what an experimental Nazi airplane is doing so close to the British-controlled Suez Canal in 1936. It's actually much closer to Cairo, where British security no doubt welcomed the opportunity to spy on and study the latest Nazi technology.

So all sorted, then.

See first bolded above, :clap: :bow: :clap:
Second bolded above, that sounds like a threat to me

And over all I agree Dr. Jones, if you had contacted General Weir.
