The Indian Tomb aka. Journey to the Lost City, or in original German, Das indische Grabmal, is a 1959 German-French-Italian adventure drama film directed by Fritz Lang.

It is the second of two films comprising what has come to be known as Fritz Lang's Indian Epic; the other is The Tiger of Eschnapur (Der Tiger von Eschnapur). The film was based on the novel Das indische Grabmal, written by Lang's ex-wife, Thea von Harbou, who had died in 1954.

In 1960 American International Pictures obtained the rights to both films and combined them into one film called Journey to the Lost City.

In popular culture

The indoor hall of the Greek multisport club Panathinaikos has been given the nickname "Indian's Tomb", or "Tafos tou Indou" as pronounced in Greek.
