I bought Last Crusade on UA-cam a couple of years ago. When I was watching it, I was stunned when Saint Anselm was mentioned as the medieval chronicler who provides the clues needed to pass the three challenges at the Temple of the Sun - I'd been reading about him in my book club book ("The White Ship" by Charles Spencer) earlier that day!
Anselm of Canterbury was canonized in 1494. A copy of his diary was found in the summer of 1930 in the Salisbury Cathedral. Through his father's knowledge of Anselm's writings, Indiana Jones was able to pass through the traps in the Temple of the Sun and recover the Grail.
The year of Anselm's canonization is accurate, but the diary and its discovery are fictional. I was surprised, though, to learn a while back that the Republic of Hatay was (briefly) a real country!
