On the one hand, there aren't tons of nazis to deal with. On the other hand, there are tons of troggs...

For all you Indiana Jones fans, this one's for you.

Back in the pre-Burning Crusade dungeon of Uldaman, there is an opportunity to do a reenactment of a famous scene from the first Indiana Jones movie, "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

This reenactment is not a quest. Rather you start off by reading the journal of one of the previously mentioned Lost Vikings. The journal will tell you to collect two objects and put them together to form a staff. That staff serves as the key to open the door in another chamber of the room where there is a small model city laid out on the floor.

So if you haven't visited Uldaman ever, stop on by and take a peek. As you can see in the screenshot above, even a level 70 Discipline/Holy priest can solo this instance if she wants to, so other classes and specs should have no problem at that level.

Warcraft wasn't the only game by Blizzard starring short bearded men who like drinking and fighting

(map)

Years before the advent of World of Warcraft, Blizzard had produced another game staring three short bearded warriors. Their names were Baelog, Eric "The Swift," and Olaf. They were the stars of the console game "The Lost Vikings."

These guys have found their way out of their original game world and ended up lost in the old-world dungeon Uldaman.

Members of the Alliance can visit these guys and take part in working with them for a quest string. Members of the Horde, though, can totally slaughter these three and swipe them of their loot, a couple pieces of which are quite unique, such as the Horned Viking Helmet and Olaf's All Purpose Shield.
