Those are fantastic ideas! Instead of a small temple how about a friggin'
huge one! I want at least 600 pieces in it. I also want statues. Tons of
statues of little minifig marble people like in your link. I think the best
opposition would be to have a set of "pirates" from the early 1900s out on the
open seas looking for treasures lost years ago by real pirates. They are
opportunistic enough however to take any ancient treasures Johnny Thunder
might find.

You have great ideas. Let's hear the plans for that mammoth and any dinos you
might come up with.
