As they move down the road we see that the back of the truck holds three other Arab Diggers.

EXT. RISE ABOVE THE TANIS DIG - MORNING

Indy and Sallah are lying in classic shouting fashion at the top of the rise looking down on the Tanis Digs. Down behind them, Sallah’s truck is parked with the three Arab Diggers.

INDY My God! They aren’t kidding!

WHAT HE SEES. The Tanis Digs are laid out below like a painting. Trucks, bulldozers, Arab workers and German supervisors are everywhere. The excavations themselves are extensive and somewhat random - holes have been dug and then abandoned, foundations and passageways unearthed and then deserted. Beyond the main digs, a crude airstrip has been created. Sallah points to what appears to be a mound of dirt with a hole in it near the center of the activity.

SALLAH There! That is the map room!

INDY What time does the sun hit the map?

SALLAH Just after eight.

INDY We haven’t got much time. Where are the Germans digging for the Well of the Souls?

Sallah points out into the desert a short way beyond the main area of activity. The desert turns to sand dunes out there, the surface undulating into the distance. Several trucks and men are out there and a bulldozer is lumbering noisily toward it.

INDY Okay. Let’s go.

EXT. THE TANIS DIGS - MORNING

Sallah’s truck drives through the camp, one of the Arab Diggers at the wheel. Indy and Sallah are in the back and look just like the other two Arab Diggers. Sallah’s truck goes behind a tent and when it appears on the other side, Indy and Sallah are gone.
