^{"This map has two themes: One part of it shows the "strange garden"-style and the other an Egyptian theme. There are more gremlins here to fight plus a new enemy: The techno-bug from the future. At the end of the level there's also the first time portal."

Trivia

• Ancient Egyptian art reached a high level in painting and sculpture, and was both highly stylized and symbolic. It was famously conservative, and Egyptian styles changed remarkably little over more than three thousand years. Much of the surviving art comes from tombs and monuments and now there is an emphasis on life after death and the preservation of knowledge of the past. The wall art was never meant to be seen by people other than the afterlife for when they needed them.
