Based on over forty years of adventure,
this diary follows Indiana Jones from his earliest travels into the Cold War
era.
This highly detailed prop replica is bound in genuine cowhide, professionally
embossed and aged to look like a time-worn journal.
The cover shows an ibis, the symbol of the Egyptian god Thoth, the scribe
of the gods, as well as various motifs including papyrus, from which we get
the word paper, a fitting design for a personal journal of an archaeologist.
This diary contains almost 300 pages of
stories, notes, drawing and photos. Indy's travels begin in 1908 with his
father's European lecture tour. His adventures continue as a soldier in the
First World War and into his career as a world-famous archaeologist and "finder
of rare antiquities".
