  • The action takes place in Mongolia (instead South America) in 1938 (instead 1912).
  • Arthur Malone (instead Ned Malone).
  • Neanderthal natives are also found on the lower part of the plateau (i.e. not isolated from civilization).

  • They find new hieroglyphs on the plateau.
  • Summerlee and Roxton are killed on the plateau.
  • Malone is left alone on the Plateau never to return.
