perhaps the graphics at the bottom are intended to evoke diamond head, but it sure looks like pyramids to me.
waiiittt... i was 6 years old at the time, and i remember going to the king tut exhibit at the national gallery of art at the time... ha! zeitgeist marketing! that rules :D
from wikipedia:
National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (November 17, 1976 – March 15, 1977) – 836,000 visitors in over 117 days

I myself waited for 1 1/2 hours to see it.
