: Ok, as I looked over a worldmap I suddenly realized that many of
: the character´s names in the Indy trilogy are based on places.
: Indiana is of course too obvious to even mention but
: (Marion) Ravenwood isn´t that a city in the US? and
: Khatanga (the freighter captain in ROTLA) is a place in northern
: Russia and finally Wuhan (Indy´s friend in TOD) is pretty big city in
: China. Does anybody know of places called Belloq or Sallah?.
: Anyway I just thought it was peculiar.

Hey. I looked up both Belloq and Sallah in the gazetteer and found that
there are no cities or regions with either of those names. Actually,
there was a SALLA in Finland, but I discounted that one. And I always
assumed Katanga was named for the mineral rich region of the Congo. Just
my two cents.
