DISK#1

This is just the Introduction of the game.You can either watch it or skip it.
When your done it will ask you to insert Disk#2.


DISK#2

Get out of the helicopter. Go forward 12 times,go inside the tent. Look to 
your right,open the green box laying on the bed. Take the wallet and open
it. Take and lift the blue card,and examine the white piece of paper.

Numbers

R 6:10

L 15:24

R 8:25

Look below the blue card and lift the white card. Write down the Campus
Identification Number  1 007-72-33-1334. Close the wallet and the green 
box. Look to your left and examine the pile of brown boxes next to the table.
Pick up the Combination Lock package and turn it over,it tell you how to use
a combination lock. When your done reading go back to the bed. I'm tired
let's take a nap. Click on the pillow. Hit the action button to wake up.
It's pretty dark,go to the nightstand and pick up the book of matches,light
a match and light the candle. There we go I can see hey,what's that laying
underneath the pillow? A blank sheet of paper,strange. Hang on! Words
appear we I hold the paper above the candle. Grab ahold of the paper to 
move it up or down to read the clue. When your done put the paper back
underneath the pillow. Let's go back to sleep. Ok you can wake up now.
Let's see that paper said something about a pot. Maybe the pot on the stove?
Turn around and turn the right knob to turn the gas on. Turn back around and
light a match,now quickly turn back around and light the stove. Look down
in the pot,mmm...look delicious,wow a key floated to the top. I can't eat
that! Grab the SKELETON KEY and put it in your Inventory. Turn left and
examine the desk. Open the sliding table above the three drawers on the
left side. Write down all that's on the paper.

Tape#3

R 0105

Artifacts Tape

L 0223

Tape#1

R 0031

Close the sliding table and use the Skeleton Key to unlock all three drawers.
Drawer#1 take the TAPE#3,close the drawer. On the cassette tape player
press the Stop/Eject button,insert the tape. Turn the Volume all the way up,
and press the little button beside the counter,to reset the counter to 0000.
Hit the green Play button,fastforward/FF to 0105 and listen to the clue
"add the day number plus the number of doves plus the number of pigeons".
Stop and eject the tape. Reset the counter to 0000. Put Tape#3 back in the
drawer and grab the ARTIFACT TAPE. Put the Artifact Tape in the tape player
and hit Play. Fastforward the tape to 0220 and listen to the clue. "Add the
number of young bulls of 5. Subtract the number of male goats". Stop and
eject the tape,reset the counter to 0000. Put the tape back in the drawer.
Open Drawer#3 and take TAPE#1 and put it in the tape player. Hit Play,
fast forward the tape to 0031,listen to the clue "the number of years minus
30". Notice he always says "in the book of Numbers". Take the tape out
and put it back in the drawer. Beside the tape player is a tape called
"A MESSAGE FOR YOU MY OLD FRIEND" listen to it. With the Skeleton Key
unlock the wider drawer (right side of the three drawers) and look at the maps.
Now let's go over the clues we found. The wallet had a set of numbers
R 6:10 L 15:24 R 8:25. And the clues we just heard on the tapes,also it has
something to do with the book of Numbers. I wonder? Turn to the left below
the nightstand is some books. Go ahead and read "Mathmatical Analysis Of
The Pyramids At Giza" & "Translation Of Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs" &
"Monuments & Myths Of Egypt". Let's look at the bible,I wonder what book it
is? Let's turn back 5 pages. Oh! Look the book of Numbers! So that's what 
he meant. Let's see the paper we found in the wallet said "Numbers" and the 
set of number. Could the number be Chapters and Versus? Let's find out.
Turn to Chapter 6 Versus 10. It talks about days,doves & pigeons! So 
8+2+2=12. Now go to Chapter 15 Versus 24. It talks about a young bull and a
male goat. We have to "Add the number of young bulls of 5. Subtract the number
of male goats". So 5 young bulls. Subtract one male goat which would be zero.
5+0=5. Turn to Chapter 8 Versus 25. The third clue said "number of years minus
30". 50-30=20. Alright we have three numbers 12, 5 & 20. Go ahead and just
flip through the rest of the pages of the bible. When your done turn around
and examine the chest. Look at the combination lock. Don't forget,remember
what you read earlier on that combination lock package.

=======================
Combination Lock Puzzle
=======================

Make the hand icon a T and you can go either way left or right,just spin the

icon should be L go Left PAST the number 5 and land on 5 the second go around.
The hand icon should be R go Right to 20. If done correctly the lock should
unlock. If it didn't try again,this puzzle is VERY frustrating. Click on the 
two gold latches to open the chest. Look inside and open the blue book.
Grab the TRANSLATION SCROLL. And beside the book the SCROLL 
TRANSLATION TAPE. Go back to the tape player and listen to the tape
very carefully. When your done exit the tent. NOTE:In order for the combination
lock to work you must listen to all three tapes and flip through all the pages
of the bible.

of the pyramid. Climb up,you should be at the red circle. Look down at the 
disc and turn it to the STORK (it's inbetween the cobra and the large bird
with wings) you will hear a loud bang.
===========================================================

Climb down and go inside the golden pyramid. Go forward until you are facing
the large statue. Turn left. On the left and right side are indentions. On the
left side place the Anubis Tablet in the indention,and take the GIZA COMPLEX

SCROLL. Take the tablet back. On the right side put Thoth's Tablet in the 
indention and take the STONEHENGE SCROLL. Take the tablet back. If your
wondering what I mean when I say take the tablet back it means put all six
tablets back in your Inventory. Now go all the way back to where you found
the Cobra Wheel,I hope you know how to get there. Are you there yet,good. Look
for a purple look square stone and place the Cobra Wheel on it. Turn the Cobra

From where you are standing,go back out the way you came in (no not the maze).
Standing facing the wall (the pool of water should be behind you) you will see
a yellow looking object on your left,let's see what ii is. Go forward/left,
straight,right,straight twice. Oh look another puzzle. This one is very easy
if you paid attention to the drawings we look at not 10 seconds ago. Use the
top lever the raise the marbles(I reckon) and use the bottom lever to lower
the marbles.

should be in the white or clear.
=======================================

Now remember those disc/valves I told you not to turn. Go back and turn all of
them and the water will drain out of the pool. Go around the pool and look
for a set of tusk and go down the ladder. SAVE YOUR GAME. I'll tell you
why in a minute. Around you are six doors,go around to each door and turn ALL
the discs and the "spikes" will open so you can go inside. Going clockwise.

Balloon With String

Go inside,go all the way down the hallway and go up the stairs. Go forward 13
times. Open the chest and get the ATLANTLIAN KEY. Go back down the hallway.

Tree Trunk

Go all the way down the hallway and go up the stairs. Turn right and forward 8
times. Open the chest and get the MAYAN KEY. Go back down the hallway.

Three Dots

Go all the way down the hallway,and go up the stairs. Turn left,go forward 15

Go all the way down the hallway and go up the stairs. Turn right,forward 4 
times,right,right,forward 5 times. Open the chest and get the BERMUDA KEY.
Go back down the hallway.


GLITCH

Now the reason I told you to save your game before turning the disc is because
the second time I went through this game. I was going around turning the disc
one at a time and going down the hallway get the key and so on and so fourth.
When I got to the (I think) it was the Urn disc I tried to turn it and it would
not turn I tried and tried and tried again it still would not turn so I could
not get the last key. So if this ever happens to you,just load your game and
and turn ALL the disc.

When you get back to the round room look to your right and go up the ladder
and go through the tunnel. Climb the ladder and pull the pin (right side) to
open the gate. Hey we're back at the scary cobra! Good thing we don't have to
go back through that maze. Go back through the door and look inside the big
golden bowl. Click on the side of the bowl to dump it out. You will get back on
the throne/chariot and go back up. Now go all the way back to the helicopter.


DISK#2
Get out of the helicopter and go toward the tent,back across the wooden
scaffold and back down the wooden ramp. Turn left,go forward 16 times,
turn left and go inside the cave.

Insert the keys you just found into the slots around the door. Going clockwise

Lens Puzzle

You have to pick ONE lens. If you choose the wrong one then you will die. I 
got the top left hand side lens.

===========================================================

Go forward toward the golden Ark and a shining star will fall from the sky
and you will hear a females voice. Then out of nowhere Sir Gil will come out
and talk to you. When he is done talking turn around and go toward the golden
Ark. Click on the Ark to open it. Let's see what's inside. Enjoy the ending.
