Most accepted theories on the construction of the pyramids are based on the idea that it was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place. The disagreements center on the method by which the stones were conveyed and placed. Regardless, there were likely many ladders involved in its construction, such as on this level.

This level is mostly a run around. Picking up the treasure while avoiding mummies is not so hard - but getting treasure away from the mummies is a much harder task. The three-wide stone platform is a useful killing field, although you'll have to run around a bit to get the mummies carrying treasure to line up properly. Note also that the middle block of this platform is a fall-through block.

And once you've gotten all the treasure, you'll need to cross over to the escape ladder. One way to do this is to kill a mummy and cross over on its back when the mummy crosses from the escape ladder to the main pyramid.

The Ankh was the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol that read 'life', and as a sun symbol, was almost always crafted in gold.

To keep your life on this level, be careful of the false bricks in the main Ankh and figure out which of them are useful.

Researchers estimate that 2.3 million blocks were used to build the Great Pyramid, with an average weight of about 2.5 metric tons per block.

The pyramid of this level was built from fewer than 100 blocks. In the beginning, manuever to get inside the pyramid and then stand on one of the ladders on the second layer nearest the outer wall of the left side of the pyramid. Wait for the mummies to group on the other side of the outer wall. Then climb to the top of the ladders on the small pyramid and wait for the mummies to climb the tall ladder and drop off the pole. Once the last one has dropped (or slightly before), run up the tall ladder, across the pole and dig to get back inside the big pyramid and to the tomb.

Repeat this trick to exit after grabbing the lone piece of treasure, only this time you need to get out on the right side of the pyramid.

A revered, important animal to Egyptian society and religion, the cat was afforded the same mummification after death as humans were.

When finishing this catty level, do not be fooled by the cat's tail that appears once you pick up the last treasure. The only exit is on the left. So you need to let the mummies bring you the treasure that is to the right of the cat's head, since you cannot pick up every piece and run back in time.

To get the mummies to bring you the treasure, you must dig out the five bricks on the bottom and allow them to pass (or get trapped and killed).

Imhotep designed the Step Pyramid of Djoser to serve as a gigantic stairway by which the soul of the deceased pharaoh could ascend to the heavens. Such was the importance of Imhotep's achievement that he was deified by later Egyptians.

Before you can ascend to the top of this pyramid level, you must make your way to the bottom. To get the top piece of treasure, move left off the apex, dig the next block and step onto the mummy below, continuing to move right (try placing your mouse pointer on the apex).

After getting the last piece of treasure, exit to the right and run up and down the ladders. The lower left is the only difficult part: just run under the mummies on the ladder above you and maneuver ... and hope!

The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection and royal power from deities.

On this level, there is some protection inside the eye, but not much. Repeated trips from the top to the bottom are required to get all the treasure. Eventually, there will be two mummies on the bottom left. To get by them, climb to the top of the short ladder four from the left, dig left, climb down and dig left again. One of the mummies will fall in the lower pit. Climb up the ladder. The second mummy will climb the other ladder and fall in the top pit. Move across the two trapped mummies and climb to the top.

Probably not a traditional Egyptian design.

You have to zig-zag back and forth along the poles to get all the treasure. To get past the lone chaser mummy, wait for him on one pole and just before he reaches you, drop to the pole below and move directly under him.

Since the design is non-traditional, considering playing the level non-traditionally: the drop-and-move-under move is easier to do with the keyboard (easier, but still hard). Once you get the last piece of treasure above the bricks inside the pyramid, pause the game and switch back to mouse mode.

Anubis, or Inpu, was an Egyptian god of the afterlife.

To get the treasure between Anubis' ears, dig out the two columns to the left of the mummy and stand on top of the mummy. Move left off the mummy while digging right. The mummy should fall into the hole in the right most column. Now dig out the left two columns until you connect to the ladder-eye. Move down from the right most ladder of the eye and you will fall to the pole below.

To get the treasure inside the right ear, dig out the higher of the two-block columns, falling onto the right two-block column. Move to the left and dig the second two-block column. Now move to the right and dig out the one-block column, freeing the mummy. Move one more to the right and dig out three blocks so that you have a two block wide ledge to stand on. Move left and dig out the square to your right. Wait for the mummy to fall, get his treasure, and race up the ladder to confront five mummies blocking the exit.

Nubia was a major source of gold in Egypt. King Tushratta of the Mitanni claimed gold was 'more plentiful than dirt' in Egypt.

In this pyramid, treasure is even in the air! Lots of treasure, only three mummies - it can't be that hard, can it?

A sarcophagus is a funeral receptacle for a corpse, most commonly carved or cut from stone. In Ancient Egypt, a sarcophagus formed the external layer of protection for a royal mummy, with several layers of coffins nested within, and was often carved out of alabaster.

If you do not want this level to be your sarcophagus, get the piece of treasure under the left edge of the sarcophagus at the start - otherwise, there is no way to get it.
