Hmmm, I knew that warning sounded familiar … and then I remembered. One of the (translated) inscriptions in Disneyland’s Indiana Jones ride reads: “TEMPLE OF THE FORBIDDEN EYE LOOK NOT INTO THE EYESOF MARA AND YOU SHALL GAIN ADMISSION TO THE TEMPLE OFYOUR GREATEST SECRET DESIRE” Back in the 1990s my 12-year-old niece and I started to translate the inscriptions using the decoder card, but the line moved too fast to get them all. So, for our next visit, I made a set of 3×5 cards, one for each inscription and a larger version of the decoder card. We then stayed by each inscription, waving folks past us, until we had translated EVERY one—that was a lot of fun. BTW, I still have those cards … somewhere.
Eh how nice of em to puts up sign in English. So there was Buddha in Africa and they knews English. Gee what more is we going to learns in this big horizontal pit of Tarzan.
Apparently, Helen’s stoneworking skills improved exponentially as she transited the tunnel, graduating quickly from rude wall scratches to life size, albeit creepy, statuary.

It is as Americans secretly believe… Everyone knows English. (Some of those d*mn foreigners just pretend they can’t understand us.)

Rao? Sun god of the Kryptonians? This hidden civilization might be more dangerous than usual.

Rao is the name of the star which the planet Krypton orbited. Our party might be in more trouble than anyone realizes.
