Other mistake: The protagonist reads the last will of his adventurer father, "Idaho Jones" The will supposedly also contains a 'candid photography' of the father, but in the screenshot where everyone stares in disbelief at what Mr. Jones and his lady friends liked to call "the kraken", the asset used to portray the back of the photo is one of a postcard.
Character mistake: The first time that Diana mentions the mysterious civilization that produced the 'treasure', she mentions that "They survived in isolation until the 1500's." It's a plural, 1500s, no apostrophe.

Suggested correction: Both versions are acceptable depending what style guide someone chooses to follow. Anyone saying different is just stating an opinion (well, until all style guides decide to follow one rule). It's similar to plural letters, as in "mind your p's and q's."
Interesting! I looked up a couple "style guides" since you brought it up and I stand corrected as you said; it is recommended but not an absolute unlike what my old grammar book said (I have been corrected on an academic test about this specific rule, I wish I knew that earlier!).
Character mistake: When the protagonist reads the expedition diary, the entry "The cursed arrival of the Spanish Fleet" recites that "Many of the traveler's met their end", with an obvious grammar error.
