RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK: SCREEN USED BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

[danbackspacer]

Hi guys, let's identify as many books and magazines as possible



1. Class room:

• Statenbijbel
Published by Gysbert de Gdoot (1687)

• Archaeologia or Miscellaneous Tracts Relating to Antiquity Volume 86
Published by The Society of Antiquaries of London (1937)

• La Science Et La Vie Collective Volumes
Published by Excelsior Publications (1913-1915)



2. Auditorium:

• Unknown white magazine
Very blurry front. Some sort of logo in the middle. Looks like the title starts with: "The".

• Unknown black book
Difficult to examine it. Visible white square frame on the front cover, circled title.

• Statenbijbel
Published by Gysbert de Gdoot (1687)

• Unknown red book
One half of the cover is red and the other one looks gray. Gold letters title with possible word in it: "Church".



3. Indy's house:

• Unknown books all over the room
You can find the books in the cabinet, at the shelves, piano, desk and the fireplace. If someone can identify even one of them it would be a miracle



4. Plane:

• Life
Published by Time Inc. (30th November 1936)



5. Imam's house:

• Unknown stack of books
Impossible to identify it. Judging by the covers some of them are older than the 1920s.

• Unknown opened book
Too blurry to get any details. Visible small black and white photo on the left-hand side.



6. Belloq's tent:

• Unknown stack of two brown books
Impossible to solve it. Books look similar, visible gold ornaments. Perhaps two volumes of the same title.



Thank you for interest and any information that could help

One of them must be Where's Wally.

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".

[Lost in Trek]

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.
