Re-excavating the Canyon of the Crescent MoonI realize it's hard to get in the mood, since most people haven't had their ranks converted yet - and there are still Jedi in the upper-right corner - and there are still stars in the background. But, let's give it a shot anyway 
January 5th, 1939
For the past year and a half a museum curator by the name of Marcus Brody has been pouring over ancient and forgotten records, searching for anything that would verify his tale of visiting a temple "near Iskenderun" where the Holy Grail was located.
Now he's discovered something else - a prophecy that the Grail would be destroyed in a "great moving of Earth" but that doing so would reveal a pathway "deep underneath" leading to the Image of Edessa. The Image of Edessa is said to be a piece of cloth imprinted with the image of Jesus that was sent to King Abgar of Edessa which miraculously cured the king of his leprosy. The legend of the cloth has grown to it being said to be capable of curing all diseases at a mere touch.
He issued a statement to a New York newspaper including his finding, but warning all not to seek out the artifact or the canyon.
Obviously, this generated an immediate rush of treasure hunters and tomb raiders to Iskenderun.
