Behind the scenes[]
There are one hundred distinct narrative paths through this book. Eight of these end in an infinite loop, bouncing between pages 71 and 88.
Two paths are tied for the longest, at forty-four pages each. One ends happily, with Indy evading the cult by taking the New Pharaoh hostage; the page sequence is:
- 1 → 2 → 33 → 48 → 49 → 61 → 80 → 11 → 31 → 57 → 87 → 62 → 90 → 104 → 95 → 64 → 36 → 47 → 17 → 54 → 27 → 5 → 38 → 66 → 92 → 20 → 21 → 55 → 94 → 10 → 28 → 18 → 53 → 65 → 114 → 115 → 25 → 56 → 3 → 35 → 72 → 105 → 97 → 6
The other longest path is nearly identical, but it concludes with Indy getting burned alive by hot tar:
- 1 → 2 → 33 → 48 → 49 → 61 → 80 → 11 → 31 → 57 → 87 → 62 → 90 → 104 → 95 → 64 → 36 → 47 → 17 → 54 → 27 → 5 → 38 → 66 → 92 → 20 → 21 → 55 → 94 → 10 → 28 → 18 → 53 → 65 → 114 → 115 → 25 → 56 → 3 → 35 → 72 → 105 → 97 → 63
