Every single aspect of the preceding sentence broke my brain.

You know, for some dumb reason I never realized that the dagger (or its inscription) was something recent. I also assumed it was ancient--it makes much more sense that it was made in a post-ROTJ timeline.

I'm just gonna blame Aquaman for recently using the same trope where characters use an ancient bottle to find the next hidden thing. And a similar thing was done with some of the Indy movies. And The Goonies. And even The Fountain. Maybe it's just so much of a cliche now that we see the same thing being used and we all assume it's always an ancient artifact that points the way in these movies.
