‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’ Is Surprisingly Historically Accurate
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny'The adventure that Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones embarks on in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny may be his wackiest yet, which is saying something considering he met aliens in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Though many consider space the final frontier, Indy and his goddaughter Helena discover an even more elusive frontier in time itself.
Dr. Voller may be a fictional character, but it's a dark and open secret that the U.S. Government and NASA did recruit prominent Nazi figures in the mid-1940s, shortly after World War II had concluded, and the Third Reich was disbanded. Recruited by the U.S. as a result of "Operation Paperclip," these were scientists who weren't just loyal to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, but were also SS Officers and overseers of the infamous concentration camps.
'Indian Jones and the Dial of Destiny's Titular Dial of Desinty is a Real Device The artifact Indiana Jones is tracking this time around is the Antikythera, a device created during the age of the Roman Empire by Greek mathematician Archimedes. In Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Dr. Voller finds the device and insists that this could be one of the greatest archeological finds in history.
The Antikythera is a genuine device believed to be developed by Archimedes , but no, it can't create portals through time. However, the device is still perhaps one of the most historically significant artifacts ever discovered. Discovered all the way back in 1901, the device is thought by experts to be the earliest example of a computational device, effectively making it the first computer in history.
