Talk:Henry Jones, Sr.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Death
How did he die? He drank from the Holy Grail. Emperor001 (talk) 00:40, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- The grail cannot pass beyond the great seal. Same goes with immortality. If you pass the seal, immorality goes away. --Albert yusuke (talk) 01:54, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

- Source? I think the movie give us the idea that you have to drink from the grail once in a while, so you have to always come back to that place (and have enough lucky to no one comes before you and activacte the traps). This is stated in these sentence:
-
- "Two of these brothers walked out of the desert one hundred and fifty years after having found the Grail and began the long journey back to France. But only one of them made it. And before dying of extreme old age, he supposedly imparted his tale to a-to a Franciscan friar, I think." (Indy)
-
- "The cup that gives everlasting life. Hitler can have the world, but he can't take it with him. I'm going to be drinking my own health when he's gone the way of the Dodo." (Donovan)
And apparently is not "eternal life" but a considerably reduction of lifetime counter speed (or an expantion of lifespam if you want), since the last knight looked old. The grail is different from the fountain of youth contrary to what Donovan thought.
However... having in mind that those brothers were more than 12 years old and when they drank from it and lived more 150 years after that (they were outside the temple in their way to france); Henry Jones must have died in a car accident or something because it passed less than 20 years before his death. Indy lived, at least, more 55 years after the Last Crusade.
