it's only a person who dares to touch the actual ark that's all "dead." and probably most/all the people who knew about the Ark project were all like.. oooohhhh pretty.........DEATH! so after all this dying maybe the nazi's were like, herm, let's think about another, better religious object we can go after.
so when the Ark showed up in IV, nobody died because nobody actually touched it. but yeah, it was a callback.
all the callbacks put together were still not as lame as the fourth movie... and that is sad.

There were lots of Nazis at that end bit that hadn't touched it that got fried. Besides. Indy and John Rhy Davies' character didnt die.
Shame it didn't make Indy infertile, really, judging by Indy IV.
Yeah its possible though, what you say, about the possiblity that the Nazis had all heard about it, but that begs the question of "Why hadnt the whole world heard about it if it was common Nazi-knowledge..?
That kinda thing f***s up the established "possibly coulda happenedness" vibe of Raiders.

I just have to talk about this point - Indy and Marion were looking away, and John Rhy Davies wasn't in the scene [or if he was, he knew enough about the legend to not "look upon its beauty" or whatever.

And don't confuse it with looking in as well, I think only Belloq, Dietrich and Toht looked inside. In the end it's all about the heart. Indy and Marion showed respect by closing their eyes and they survived. Nothing more, great scene, great film.
*Listens and keeps eyes shut trying to shut out the screams in the cinema of Indy fans as their aspirations and souls are decimated and horribly burned all around by the ensuing barrel of CGI monkey piss on screen is unleashed*
