Author:	Dave Brown: Brain-Dead Eng. Technician
Description:	Single, Multi-Player, and Deathmatch. Make it to the Pyramid, get to the top, and see what happens next.
Credits:	Steve Hockemeier (Guinea Pig) Level Tester. Gave me excellent feedback and ideas which helped make this a fun and challenging experience! Also...much Kudo's(?) to the creators of DOOM, DEU51, and BSP1.1x
Base:	New level from scratch
Build time:	Exactly...uhm...uhm...WEEKS? (One hell of a learning curve but it was worth it.)
Editor(s) used:	DEU5.0 and 5.1, BSP1.0 and 1.1x
Bugs:	Some minor MIRROR effects caused by all of the 2s line Def's needed for the pyramid, but it's hardly noticable and doesn't effect game play.

Anonymous	Fun map with very surreal architecture and texturing. ****	x
Anonymous	The first part of this one is plain, boring, and uninspiring. The second part -- the ascent up the pyramid and the final battle -- is very fun. The problem is that it's not challenging in the least, considering all the powerups and ammo you're provided with. Add in some other factors (overscaling, repetitive texturing, etc.) and you get a map that could've been really good, but isn't. --3/5	x

Misc. Author Info       : This is a very large level and may
                          take a fast machine to really enjoy it.
                          I pushed many of the level boundaries
                          when building this WAD, and couldn't
                          put everything in that I had planned
                          to.

Description             : Single, Multi-Player, and Deathmatch.
                          Make it to the Pyramid, get to the
                          top, and see what happens next.
