Line 10:
* [[Dangerous Windows]]: Two of the members of the Sanders-Hardiman expedition fall victim to crystal balls hurled through their windows. Professor Cantonneau is attacked this way just as Tintin tries to warn him not to go near the window. Dr. Midge is then placed under police guard, but the police in question are Thompson and Thomson, and they try to guard everything but the window. With predictable results.
* [[Fainting Seer]]: Mrs. Yamilah, a stage fortune teller, tries to look into the fate of a woman married to one of the explorers. She gets a glimpse into the fate of the husband and seems physically affected.
* [[High -Class Glass]]: In the previous adventure of the series, Captain Haddock had acquired a treasure through inheritance. His newfound wealth is indicated in this album by his residence in a mansion and by his new habit of wearing a monocle. Not being accustomed to them, he loses a lot of them.
* [[Knife -Throwing Act]]: General Alcazar, exiled in this book, has his own stage act. After creating a full [[Knife Outline]] around his Indian target, he asks an audience member to blindfold him. His blind throw hits right in the center of the fruit held over the target's chest.
* [[A Mythology Is True]]: In-story example. The curse of Rascar Capac is scoffed at by the rational characters. Until it turns true to the letter.
* [[Nightmare Sequence]]: Tintin and his companions all have the same nightmare: that they are visited by the Inca mummy Rascar Capac who enters their bedroom by night and then throws a crystal ball on the floor.
