[Depicted in Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Sphinx -  the twelfth and final novel in the series published by Bantam Books, and the fourth written by Max McCoy- released in 1999]


  • On this adventure Indy is in search of the most coveted of all ancient artifacts, one that tells the history and fate of every human being that’s ever lived, though he who owns it writes his own destiny. The Omega Book is hidden in a secret chamber beneath the pyramids of Egypt, where Indy is in a race against time to make sure it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. 


  • In this adventure, Indiana briefly encounters:



  • Albert Einstein - a German-born theoretical physicist who is known for developing the theory of relativity, but also made significant contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics, which together are the two pillars of modern physics. His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 has been coined  "the world's most famous equation," and is generally acknowledged as the greatest physicist of all time. 


  • Locations in this adventure are:


  • Pyramids of Egypt - ancient masonry structures located in Egypt, of which most were built as tombs for the country's pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods. The most famous of the Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo, including the Pyramid of Khufu which is the largest Egyptian pyramid, and is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence.
