Jacob's Ladder was a Biblical artifact.
Magnus Völler, a Nazi archaeologist and rival of Indiana Jones, had claimed pieces of Jacob's Ladder by early 1939.
Behind the scenes[]
Jacob's Ladder is mentioned as part of Magnus Völler's backstory for author Rob MacGregor's adaptation of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings.
As the book references Völler as having collected bricks from the mythical Tower of Babel in addition to Dead Sea Scrolls and fragments of the Septuagint, it's unclear whether or not Jacob's Ladder refers to part of a supernatural object—the ladder to Heaven that Jacob perceives in a vision/dream in the Bible—or is actually acknowledging the Ladder of Jacob, a pseudepigraphic writing of the Old Testament.
