Well, don't quote me, but one night after a few large ones, some of us decided it's a 'circle of life' type thing. Probably because of the monkeys, kind of pre-human, always trying to escape/defeat evil 'the thing in the shadows'. Other than that I can't say. A few other things had me puzzled in the game though. In the Ireland bit, when looking for bits of the skull, the fox's den seems a valid direction, but it's not, or is it there for the sole purpose of sending the fox to scare the chickens? In the Mayan bit, the object was to bring back worship of Quetzacoatl instead of Tezcatlipoca. Now I'm no expert on Central American religion, but Tezcatlipoca didn't exist in Mayan mythology, only Aztec, some confusion there, although they got the Xibalba bit right (yes, I watch Discovery Channel). Also, when fighting the Spider Goddess, you're not supposed to be able to save the game after picking up the skulls, but I did, then got thrown out of the web and found I still had the skulls in the inventory. In the China bit, the old man gives over the turtle and a brass plate(in the Dragon Room). The turtle is used, but what's the plate for? Must have been a bit of redundant program. I guess most games have these odd bits in them -.I thought a second journey around hell only to find the mushroom is 'no longer available, sorry' was quite amusing - I guess the programmers can't get everything right. -- -------------------------- Deb Does it say something about me that my favourite song is "Tragedy" by the BeeGees? 8-) "Jenny100" <Jenn...@nospam.com> wrote in message news:8ocpqp$7kd$1@slb2.atl.mindspring.net... > I just finished Atlantis II and didn't understand the closing movie > at all.
