Jerico Games is the 13th episode of Season 6 in the original version of MacGyver.
Description[]
MacGyver is helping archaeologists to find the tomb of Alexander The Great, but soon learns that they are not the only ones out there looking for it.
Trivia[]
The first scene has lots of references to the Himalayan bar scene in "Raiders of the Lost Ark." The episode is a homage to Indiana Jones and has other nods to "Last Crusade" and "Raiders." The plot revolves around a woman similar to Marion Ravenwood. It aired in 1991, two years after Crusade.
Goofs[]
After von Leer takes the eye, he laughs maniacally, but his lips don't move.
Deborah Foreman's dialog appears to have been dubbed in some scenes, as what she says doesn't often exactly match her lip movements. And the timbre of her voice doesn't match the others, which also indicates a later overdubbing.
The professor refers to the markings on the plaque as 'hieroglyphics'. An archaeologist studying Egypt would know that they are 'hieroglyphs'. 'Hieroglyphic' is the adjective used to describe the script and not the language.
Alexander wouldn't have been so consumed with Egyptian mythology as the show claims. He had been tutored since he was a child by Aristotle, and was not a superstitious person.
The ancient symbols on the parchment are arranged to allow for some of the tears in the paper, with blank spots near where the tears are.
