Doubts on the map

[edit]
  • Shouldn't Modern Syria be added for Holy Grail? Modern Syria is where the Petra scene is taking place.
  • Do they visit Taiwan in Temple of Doom? I think it should be removed.
  • I don't remember any scene set in the UK at Dial of Destiny. I know they filmed the parade at Glasgow, but it was supposed to stand for a New York Street. Meanwhile, the initial scene takes place in Poland, which should be marked.

@RR: Hello there. So to address your concerns...

  • In TLC, the Grail Temple is actually situated in the short-lived Republic of Hatay, which is now the Hatay Province in Turkey, hence that country's blue shading.
  • Yes, you're right about Taiwan, and I have already made a successful request for it to be changed back to grey.
  • The UK is coloured green to reflect the fact that a flashback scene occurs there in DOD. Specifically the scene in which Jones visits the Shaw family home (in Oxford) during Helena's childhood, and convinces Basil to give him his half of the dial. Additionally, the opening scene of DOD is actually set in Nazi-occupied France (specifically the French Alps), hence why that country is green as well.
