Thanks. I never found those so I must have dreamt that I had
three! OK, Temple of the Spring was OK. I missed that switch
before - though I had thought it strange this place had nothing
at all to find! The other one I still can't find. Where are the
burricks? I've never found any. I thought I'd try down in that
archaeological dig again.

Using three crates, I climbed right on top of that star pyramid
and there is a hole in the ceiling but I couldn't quite climb
into it. Also near there is that room where the ritual blood is
poured. Up on the wall is a small opening but again, even with
the three crates I was unable to get in. Outside there are two
little roofed towers or minarets above the chapel but I couldn't
get up there either! They might not be anything but there is
definitely something above that star pyramid.
