Egypt,

Along the Red Sea

1947


In the claustrophobic tunnel, Indy held his daughter Emily, while laying on his back, using only his legs to push them both through the narrow passage between the wall and the broken obelisk.

The air was getting thinner, as Indy's boots tried to find a point of leverage. "Em?" He asked, checking on her as the passage narrowed.

"Indy!" Marion yelled. "Just get her out!"
