The beginning part is kind of different and honestly I kinda like it more than the original level because original was just flat and lots of annoying scorpions but here there's some variety. After that the level doesn't even try to hide the fact that it's a blatant edit where there's literally just the original section but with like one random out of place enemy added. There's just a miniboss fight with Tama out of nowhere. There's like one random Rembakun added in the final stretch and that's all the changes. Um. Uhh. Yeah. | ||

- "A dev-kit level. I'll steal it! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!"
- ―Dan Backslide, ACESpark's Judge Comment for this level
Overview
This level became infamous when shown due to it just being Pharaoh Man's stage with a few new enemies and extremely minimal changes to the layout. Pharaoh Man's level was even included with the devkit participants used to create levels, furthering the laziness of the level (though, bafflingly, this level does not include Pharaoh Man himself despite being in the original devkit level). It has been often wondered by players and the judges themselves, looking back on it, how the level didn't get disqualified for plagiarism.
Strategy
It's basically Pharaoh Man's level, but with a few differences and a new enemy or two. With no boss. Just blast through everything with Triple Blade.

Notes
- This is the only level in the second game to outright get a score of 0 from any of the judges.
- Notably, according to the rubric of the judge in question (Garirry), this was not because the judge gave the level a score of 0 in every category, but rather because the judge gave it -21 points in Creativity; exactly enough to subtract the sum of the points given in the other four categories.
- ACESpark's judge review references the Merry Melodies cartoon short "The Dover Boys at Pimento University" and its antagonist, Dan Backslide.
- Despite popular belief, the layout of Ancient Tomb is neither a direct copy of Pharaoh Man's stage nor its devkit recreation. It is, however, similar enough in concept and layout to constitute plagiarism in any case.
