abstract
  • The Jade Sphere was a Mayan artifact housed in a temple in Panama. It was roughly the size of a cannonball, and made out of solid jade. It is an ancient astronomical device. In 1922, Charles Kingston and his two students, Indiana Jones and Magnus Völler were on an expedition to these ruins where Kingston acquired the sphere. By 1939, the jade sphere had ended up in the hands of antique collector Archie Tan, a friend of Dr. Jones. Knowing that agents of Völler were after him and the Sphere, as a link to finding Kingston, Tan hid the sphere. Indy later required the sphere and returned to Panama. Using it there he was able to discover Kingston's hidden journal which contained information leading to the Staff of Kings.
