Alexandretta, modern Iskenderun, emerges from the shield impression as the Grail's trailhead. Crusaders besieged its ancient foundations, now buried beneath the bustling city. Indy recounts the siege's fury while instructing Brody to rendezvous with Sallah there, map secured, launching the quest into terrain rich with layered ruins, shifting sands, and echoes of medieval conquests that propel Brody forward amid rising Nazi pursuit.
