‘Dial of Destiny’: Every Easter Egg and Ending Explained

The following post contains SPOILERS for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

The themes of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny include time and regret. And the two go hand in hand. When we get older we have to recognize the mistakes we made in our lives, and deal with the fact that our chances to redeem ourselves are running out.
