Facts from the source article.

Background

Set at the Temple of Thutmose at Deir el-Bahari in Upper Egypt in 1378 BC, the level takes Sam over the mountain and into the temple to recover the Air Element, the first of four elements he needs, while Mental has left a surprise for him inside. Its par time is 10 minutes, and it hides six secrets in The First Encounter and its HD and VR versions (seven on Xbox). Three giant boulders in the level are booby-trapped, and after dodging the first one Sam whistles the Indiana Jones theme, a nod to the boulder scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
