Some candidates: Roy Chapman Andrews, Hiram Bingham III, Percy
Harrison Fawcett, and fictional characters by H. Rider Haggard

>From the story:

Since the 1960s, one of the controversial archeologists in the Middle
East has been Vendyl Jones, who has conducted a search for the Holy
Ark of the Covenant. He has claimed to be the inspiration for Indiana
Jones, pointing out that if you take off the first and last letters of
his name, you get Endy Jones. However, the men behind Indiana Jones,
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, say that "Indiana'' was actually
the name of Lucas's Alaskan malamute - the dog that also lent its look
to Chewbacca in Star Wars - and that Spielberg suggested the name
"Jones,'' which was originally supposed to be "Smith.''



I still vote for Ian.
