I have not solved the problem of the markings in Cairo.  You will
find the secret to the Mexico markings on Mars.  After you get the
girls inside of the huge face, have one of them look at the base of
the two big statues.  One of the statues has markings on the base.
These markings must be duplicated in Mexico.

If anyone knows how to find the secret of the markings in Cairo
please let me know.

No diagonal lines are needed.

Save your game right before you use the crystal.  Accomplish your task
speedily.  Attempt to finish before the alien arrives.  Walk out of the
scene before he gets there and you will be safe.

Think of it as an easy way to get back home if you ever run out of money ;^).
