What is the name of the Ark's resting place in Raiders?

The Ark’s resting place in Raiders of the Lost Ark is the Well of Souls. Indiana Jones discovers the Ark of the Covenant in this underground chamber beneath the ancient city of Tanis in Egypt.

The Well of Souls is reached through the Map Room, where sunlight points to the location of the buried chamber. Indy and Sallah descend into the tomb and find the Ark surrounded by snakes, including the cobras that terrify Indiana Jones. The chamber’s name is associated with the film’s fictional archaeological setting rather than with a documented biblical location.

A common mix-up is choosing the Map Room, because it is the room that reveals the Ark’s position. The Temple of the Sun is another wrong option from the Indiana Jones universe, while the Canyon of the Crescent Moon belongs to The Last Crusade and contains the Holy Grail temple. After Indy retrieves the Ark, the Nazis seize it and eventually lose control of it when its supernatural power is unleashed.
