Four words for Indy 4 (spoiler)

Aliens? Really? Come on.

Yeah, there's a bit of a hint in the first Indy poster that was released, if you notice the odd shape of the 'crystal skull.' Are aliens really any more far-fetched than the remains of the Ten Commandments melting Nazis?

I've always considered the Indy movies to be very, very terrestrial (the Earth and humanity is the essence of archaeology). The Ten Commandments, at least, are rooted in humanity; the Ark's spiritual power is assigned by humanity; it deals directly with our world and how we perceive it. Evidence of aliens -- even though they may be the most startling archaeological find ever -- seem very out of place in an Indiana Jones movie, especially when the characters react to them so nonchalantly.

Good point (I haven't seen the new Indy yet).
