Indy's Lecture Hall

Tiered amphitheater seating slopes to a wooden lectern flanked by chalkboards covered in diagrams and ancient scripts. Shelves hold books, maps, artifacts, and teaching materials. Sunlight cuts through windows, chalk dust drifts in the air, desks creak under student elbows. Indy paces with authority, scrawls 'FACT' on the board, and declares archaeology 'the search for fact, not truth' to laughing students. Army officers later seize the space for a briefing on the Staff of Ra headpiece and Nazi plans, turning scholarly calm into urgent strategy.
