"In the Old West, gunfighters used to say 'speed is fine, but accuracy is final.' And nobody knew this better than the prince of the pistoliers, Wild Bill Hickock. He was tall and handsome with long hair and a mustache, and was quite a ladies' man. By the time he became marshal of Abilene, Kansas, he was said to have killed more than a hundred men. Wild Bill made everyone check their guns at the edge of town, and asked lawbreakers to move along peaceably. But if they refused he wasn't afraid of a shootout. After serving as marshal of Abilene, he joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. One day, playing poker in Deadwood, South Dakota, he was shot from behind by an angry gambler. His poker hand at the time was a full house: 3 aces and 2 eights. To this day it's called the Dead Man's Hand. Someone grabbed the cards off the table, and they found their way to the temple. Your quest is to grab the Dead Man's Hand and bring it back here..."

"The two greatest warriors of the Crusades were Richard the Lionhearted of England and Saladin, the Sultan of Egypt and Syria. For two years, Richard had tried to capture the city of Acre, but the city had held out while Saladin attacked Richard from behind. Finally, Acre surrendered, but Richard's men were too tired to continue fighting Saladin. The time had come for them to meet face-to-face. Saladin bowed low and presented Richard with his favorite jewel - a giant opal called the Star of Saladin. 'For my worthy opponent,' he said. Richard thanked Saladin for the gift, and they signed a treaty which ended the fighting. Soon Richard set out for England, but the opal was stolen from him during the journey. Your quest is to retrieve the Star of Saladin and bring it back here..."

Pay attention, because your knowledge of the legend can bring you a step closer to the temple...
"Long ago there was a huge fortress city with many towers called Troy. It was destroyed because Paris, a prince of Troy, decided to marry the most beautiful woman in the world - Helen. Unfortunately, Helen was already married to a Greek king, who became so enraged he mounted an army to attack Troy. The Greeks fought the Trojans for ten years but could not defeat them. So, the smartest Greek said 'Let's build a giant horse and put some warriors inside, leave it outside the city with a card that says "no hard feelings," and then we'll pretend to sail away. They'll drag the horse into the city and during the night the warriors will slip out and open the city gates, and our forces can get in and wreck the place.' Which is exactly what they did. Your quest is to retrieve the giant horseshoe of the Trojan horse, and bring it back here..."

"The most feared and powerful king of England was Henry VIII. When he was young, he was very tall, handsome, and athletic, and his court was very luxurious. Food was served on gold plates. He seemed to have everything, but Henry wasn't happy. He wanted a son to be the heir to the English throne. He had two wives who had given him baby girls, but Henry wanted boys. Finally, his third wife gave him a boy, but Henry wanted more. So, he married three more times. He grew bitter and unhappy because he was worried that his one son would not be strong enough to run his kingdom. The unhappier he was, the fatter he got. He grew so fat that he had to be buried in a coffin the size of a small piano. The great seal of the realm was to be buried with him, but legend has it that his sixth wife kept it instead. Your quest is to retrieve the great seal from the temple, and bring it here..."

"Having already sailed three-quarters of the way around the world, the great Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan was writing in his secret log when the cabin boy knocked. 'You're needed on the deck captain,' he said. The men were already assembled. 'Captain,' said the first mate, 'we want to return to Spain. It has been three and a half months since we last saw land. We have no fresh water, and we have been eating rats, leather, and even sawdust to survive.' Magellan placed one hand on his pistol and the other on his sword. 'Return to your posts,' he said, 'or I'll have you thrown in the brig for mutiny.' Suddenly, the lookout shouted 'Land! Land ho!' Overjoyed, everyone ran to the rail of the ship and saw the Philippine Islands in the distance. Unfortunately, while on the islands Magellan was killed, and the men had to finish the last leg of the journey themselves. Legend has it, the first mate stole Magellan's logbook and it ended up in the temple. Your quest is to retrieve the lost logbook of Magellan and bring it back here..."

"The first woman to fly across the Atlantic, and the first to fly from Hawaii to California was also the most famous woman pilot in history. She was Amelia Earhart. Everyone followed her adventures as she tried to fly all the way around the world. By the time she got to New Guinea in the Pacific, she had been through some rough storms and close calls. JoJo, her New Guinea fueler, was loading up her baggage and gassing up her engines for the last leg of her journey. He wanted Amelia to be safe on her trip, so he carved her a statue of a pot-bellied pig. I'm sorry JoJo, I simply can't take this,' Amelia said. She handed it back apologetically to JoJo. The sun was shining and all was well, but hours later she disappeared over the Pacific, never to be heard from again. Some say she was captured by the Japanese. Some say she ran out of gas. But JoJo knew it was because she left behind the lucky pot-bellied pig. Your quest is to find it, and bring it back here..."

"Throughout the west, one name struck fear into the hearts of soldiers and settlers. It was Geronimo, the fierce Apache warrior. The Mexican government, in what's now New Mexico and Arizona, tried again and again to wipe out the Apaches. When the Americans took over, at first the Apaches thought things would be better. But the American soldiers were just as bad as the Mexicans. Under the white flags of truce, the soldiers lured the Apaches into the camps, and then imprisoned them. Geronimo was so angry he decided to fight back. His Apache warriors were greatly outnumbered, but Geronimo fought wisely. According to legend, when the army would try to sneak up and try to capture him, all they'd find in his camp was a pair of moccasins. Your quest is to retrieve the moccasins of Geronimo, and bring them back here..."

"Long ago there lived a great warrior chief of the Zulu nation. His name was Shaka Zulu. When he was little, he and his mother were banished from their tribe, and for many years they wandered in the African bush living off bugs and plants. Finally, they were taken in by another Zulu tribe called the Mthethwas. But Shaka never forgot how his old tribe had treated him and his mother. When he was 30, the chief of the Mthethwas put Shaka in charge of a large Zulu tribe of his own. He developed new war tactics, and created a Zulu army with regiments and commanders. He also put distinguishing markings on the warriors' shields so you could tell them apart. When Shaka became chief of all the Zulus, he conquered almost all of the other tribes in the southern plains of Africa, including the tribe that had been so cruel to him as a child. Legend has it, that many years later a trader stumbled upon Shaka's secret grave and stole his burial mask. Your quest is to retrieve that mask, and bring it here..."
