What's the 3rd challenge in LC all about then. I realise that it's a leap of faith, but when Indy gets to the other side he chucks sand over the "stone bridge" so he can find his way back.
The camera spins round to show that the bridge was camoflaged with the rock behind, as to say it didn't just appear when he stepped on it. But surely anyone would see the damned thing if they were standing right in front of it. As soon as you move your head the camoflage no longer works because you're looking at it from a different angle.
Donovan and Elsa get to the grail room, presumbly looking at the sand Indy threw. There's no way either of them would have made a "leap of faith". If the bridge was always there, then why do you have to BELIEVE?
