Behind the scenes
Although the Raiders of the Lost Ark Sourcebook established that an explorer named McHenry drew the map to the Temple of the Chachapoyan Warriors which was used by Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones later attributed its creation to the real-life archaeologist named A. Bandelier, creating a continuity error.
