I think some of the classroom books were identified in a thread on the artefacts on the desk a few years back. Soms of them are lovely books published years after the supposed date of the film.

Thanks to some great research over at COW a few years ago by Kali Yuga (who is sadly no longer with us), I can report:

Readable title "Archaeologia" which in Spanish means "Archeology". Two last digits seems to be "86".

ARCHAEOLOGIA Volume 86 LXXXVI from 1936 from the Society of Antiquaries of London

Hard to read but I think that two of them are titled "La Science" and if that's correct they must be French.

"La Science Et La Vie" these volumes collect the first issues beginning in 1913

I just checked that thread. Amazing work! Unfortunately in terms of books, there's only information about the Dutch Bible.

Thank you. But in this posting I was showing books from "Crystal Skull", not from "Raiders".

Ok... I just have to get this out of my system. The film is called "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and not "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark".

I now return you to your previously scheduled program.
