Treasure Of The Pyramids
Treasure of the Pyramid is the seventh mission of the Dusty Dune Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy. It is a hidden mission accessed through the Blasting through the Sand mission, and it holds one of the three Green Stars in the game. Layout[edit]The player has to progress through the original mission as usual until they reach the planet with the wooden ring, collecting as many Star Bits from the Pokeys as they can on the way. On the underside of the platform the player lands on from the first Launch Star is a Hungry Luma, who asks the player to feed it twenty Star Bits. Doing so will have the Luma transform into a pyramid planet and a Launch Star will appear to send Mario to that planet. The Launch Star will cause Mario to land on a Warp Pipe leading inside the pyramid. Inside the pyramid are five Silver Stars. Stepping onto the green line will cause the pyramid to shake and the sand above and below will begin moving, revealing paths for the player to take and more Silver Stars. All of the Silver Stars are placed within Crystals. Collecting all of the Silver Stars will cause all of the sand to disappear and the Power Star will appear at the bottom of the pyramid.

Biography[edit]
Born in Bologna, in 1815 he travelled across Greece, and later he reached Egypt where he joined the Egyptian Army during the conquest of Sudan. In 1830 he became surgeon-major.[1] Under the army, he stayed at Sennar and then at Khartoum where he met the Albanian merchant Antonio Stefani.[2] Later he decided to desert and devote himself to treasure-hunting, determined to either “return home penniless, or carrying unprecedented treasures”.[3] Along with Stefani, Ferlini organized an expedition that left for Meroë on August 10, 1834.[2]
Having asked and obtained from the Governor-General of the Sudan, Ali Kurshid Pasha, the permission to perform excavations at Meroë,[4] and spurred by legends from local workers who talked about 40 ardeb of gold, he started to raid and demolish – even using explosives – several pyramids, which were found “in good conditions” by Frédéric Cailliaud just a few years earlier.[3] At Wad ban Naqa, he leveled the pyramid N6 of the kandakeAmanishakheto starting from the top, finding treasure composed of dozens of gold and silver jewelry pieces. Overall, he was responsible for the destruction of over 40 pyramids.[3][5]

Having found the treasure he was looking for, in 1836 Ferlini returned home.[1] A year later he wrote a report of his expedition containing a catalog of his findings, which was translated to French and republished in 1838.[note 1][2] He tried to sell the treasure, but at this time nobody believed that such high quality jewellery could be made in Sub-Saharan Africa. The treasures were finally sold in Germany: part were purchased by king Ludwig I of Bavaria and are now in the State Museum of Egyptian Art of Munich, while the remaining – under suggestions of Karl Richard Lepsius and of Christian Charles Josias von Bunsen – was bought by the Egyptian Museum of Berlin where it still is.[3]
Ferlini died in Bologna on December 30, 1870 and was buried in the Certosa di Bologna.[1]
