I actually marathoned the Indiana Jones movies in preparation for Dial of Destiny. I miss treasure hunt movies that mix in true history with fiction. Don't get many of those anymore.
Great to see this dive into the various Indy artifacts continue! However I believe there is one not covered yet: The diamond from Temple of Doom. There isnt just the real history behind it but also Indy's own history with it given how Temple of Doom actually wasnt the first time he was involved with that diamond.
I actually saw the antikythera Mechanism when it was brought to the Children’s Museum in Indianapolis as part of the Ancient Greek exhibit that was staying there for a time.
Hoping you cover young indiana jones. I was pretty psyched when that was added to disney plus. The documentaries George helped make are also on youtube.
Is the Dial of Destiny the first of Jones' artifacts to not be "of the Gods"? The Ark, Sankara Stones, Holy Grail and Crystal Skull all seem connected to gods (Judeo-Christian God, Shiva, Jesus & the Interdimensional beings). Is this a departure from the norm for the franchise? Can't wait to find out the answers to all these mysteries this week! Thanks for the video!
It's not a departure from the norm in the wider franchise. While the most well-known artifacts are tied to religions and mythologies, most stories chronologically set before Temple Of Doom (but there are exceptions) feature mundane possessions of historical figures or lost civilizations and/or technology of great cultural importance, which is why Indy is portrayed as such a skeptic of the supernatural in the movies.
It should be noted there's a high chance this dial was a party trick/trinket. The steam engine (Aeolipile) was also invented back then, but never saw industrial usage. A Spaniard even demonstrated its usage in 1543 to Charles V, but got rejected.
Well done, Indy. We just need to buy you a hat. If you can act, you can replace Ford in the sixth sequel about the Dead Sea Scrolls, and and the seventh about the Rosetta Stone.
I like the way you brought this device up and tied it into the new indiana jones movie. This device I think makes the movie a lot more entertaining And I'm just shocked, it didn't do better at the box office. If you look at most of the silly movies released now and almost makes Harrison ford as indiana jones Look like a real archaeologist.
Man the new Indiana Jones movie was so sad what the stupid walk agenda it's sad Especially with certain races being involved in the FBI or CIA which was not fact till the 70s
Continental shift has NOTHING to do with the dial and what happened. The continents haven't shifted much in the last 2000 years so why was that even mentioned??
Um I’m not for sure on this! But I think this is going to be another flop! I wanted something more archaeological driven! And not this Fantasy bullshit..

Bonus points for those who marathon the films AND Young Indy Chronicles.
@@myriadmediamusingsI would if I could find the damn series anywhere.
@@ajzeg01on disney plus along with the first four movies.
@@myriadmediamusings Only in the USA though.
The rest of us are out of luck...
@cyberpup2246 I watched it and liked it well enough. It's quite harmless fun. And the leading lady is sooo pretty!
Alex talking about real life history in the exact tone as Star Wars lore is hilarious lol. Love the channel!!

Were Nurhachi's remains covered already?
@@pieterboelen2862Yep the fertility idol, ark, nurhaci remains, sankara stones, coronado cross, holy grail and crystal skulls were covered.
I actually saw the antikythera Mechanism when it was brought to the Children’s Museum in Indianapolis as part of the Ancient Greek exhibit that was staying there for a time.
I'm so excited you guys are covering the new Indiana Jones movie. Thank you so very much.
Love the Indiana Jones week videos idea!
Maybe just me but the dial reminds me of the mechanism thingy from Uncharted 3.
The compass puzzle?
Thanks for the breakdown.
Both Indiana Jones and Star Wars are creations of George Lucas, so it makes total sense to cover all of Lucasfilm… love your work!
Glad Indiana Jones Explained is back! Can't wait to see INDY 5 starting this Thursday evening. Gonna be a fun weekend! ☺️
More Indy content please! Star Wars gets enough attention
Despite being based on the Antikythera device, it looks more like an astrolabe, though they are similar devices
It's always the mileage!! 🤣🤣🤣 Thx.
I wonder where this Easter egg will appear is Star Wars

Hearing you say Cardiff University is wild to me - Cymru am byth!
I am looking to learn more about Indiana Jones.
Do yourself a favor and watch the movies if you haven't already. Greatest action-adventure series of all time.
@@Gage_Brumley I am considering it.
Was waiting for a video like this. Thank you.
Cool video!
I'd love a proper National Geographic documentary on this.
It's a fascinating piece of machinery!
History channel did a Histories Greatest Mysteries on it.
@@powerrangersexplained Is that on any streaming services by any chance? It seems fascinating.
@@pieterboelen2862 I’d assume it’s on the History Channel app but idk for sure.
The movie was so good!

Very cool stuff to be found in history! Thats why I love it when films, series, and games blend it with fiction!
This was surprisingly fascinating
Indiana Jones and the hunt for his night time meds

Loved thia mcguffin. Way better than Crystal skull.
Automatas have existed for millenias . We just tend to conveniently forget that fact.
Well done, Indy. We just need to buy you a hat. If you can act, you can replace Ford in the sixth sequel about the Dead Sea Scrolls, and and the seventh about the Rosetta Stone.
man i am looking forword to see indiana jones 5
Please do me a huge favor; please make a video on the Holy Lance.

Wasn't that Angelina Jolie movie ... the one with her father Jon Voigt .... also about a dial that allows her to go back in time?
👍
Im hoping and praying that its not time travel.
I really hope this thing isn’t a time-travel device because there’s way too many stories of that.

Lame artifact. The Nazis would let Indy keep that one.
