Congratulations! You win!
You have solved Aztec Temple adventure!
*note1:- "Leave treasures here". Although for a full score and game completion,
we have to move this label to another location "Hall of the Gods" and drop the
treasures there instead.
*note2:- A clue here - "... you find the words somewhat moving".
*note3:- If you pull the ring-shaped handle, then the wall falls on top of you.
*note4:- To cross the rickety bridge you must ensure you are carrying no more
than four items, or it will collapse. You should only be carrying sticky gloves
(worn), lit flashlight, rock and mattress at this point.
