Ancient Temple Chamber

Inner Sanctum

The inner sanctum caps the ancient temple's inclined passage. A colossal boulder crashes into its entrance, sealing the chamber tight and trapping its treasures amid rubble and debris. Indy dives out just in time, leaving behind crushed hat and stalactite shards. Dust settles in the dim confines, air thick with stone dust and the echo of thunderous pursuit, embodying the temple's lethal judgment on intruders.
