An Ancient Egyptian Cat Mummy, cataloged as SW-003 and numbered by Indiana Jones as Artifact #21, was recovered from Siwa in 1937.
History[]
In the summer of 1937, archaeologist Indiana Jones went on a dig in Siwa unaware that he was being observed by the Vatican Secret Agency due to the Egyptian site's connection to the Great Circle. At the Mountain of the Dead, he found a well-preserved Cat Mummy in an unmarked grave.[1]
Thought to be of little historical significance, the piece was put up on display at Woolley Hall on the campus of Marshall College until it was stolen during a stormy October night at the university when Locus broke in and took the artifact. Indiana Jones, who had been awoken at his desk due to the disturbance, tried to protect the museum but he was overpowered by the much larger man. The mummified cat was so innocuous that the archaeologist and curator Marcus Brody had to place the other relics back in their displays to figure out exactly which item was missing.[1]
Afterwards, Jones set off around the world to retrieve the Cat Mummy but ended up pulled into the grander mystery of the Great Circle when Nazi rival Emmerich Voss destroyed the relic to reveal a valuable stone was hidden inside.[1]
