- "You have chosen wisely. But the Grail cannot pass beyond the great seal. That is the boundary, and the price of immortality."
- ―Grail Knight to Indiana Jones[src]
Elsa Schneider backs over the Great Seal.
The Great Seal was the sacred mark[1] and a marking metal point inside the Temple of the Sun.[2]
When Indiana Jones recovered the Holy Grail from the temple in 1938, the artifact's guardian warned that the Grail could not be taken beyond the Great Seal. However, Jones' companion Elsa Schneider defied this warning, which triggered the temple's collapse[3] and ultimately cost Schneider her life. As the temple shattered[3] via an earthquake,[1] the Earth split open in the spot where the metal seal had been.[4]
