Jungle of Words

The **Jungle of Words** is a jungle that is the main setting of the 1987 Golden Step-Ahead Video, *Journey Through the Jungle of Words*. The Jungle of Words is one of the most special jungles in the world. It is not only a location to go have adventures in, as it's also a tourist spot, as well as having educational purposes for people who want to learn linguistics skills.

Zebra, King Tut, Dualot, and Seealot are among the residents who live there.

## Notable Locations

### The Watering Hole

The watering hole is a well-known hotspot in the Jungle of Words, whether it be for refreshments, or swimming. There is a signpost in the middle of the lake with a piece of the map.

### King Tut's Hut

King Tut's Hut is a sandstone temple in the Jungle of Words, which is King Tut's home. Thanks to Groucho and Olivia, King Tut knows how to keep his hut tidy. The entrance to the hut is a trapdoor with a slide. The hut used to be cluttered with items, until Tut learned to put them in the correct rooms.

### The Cliff

Beneath a section of the path to King Solomon's Mind lies the cliff. It's a steep cliff approximately 60 feet high with a large mud pit at the bottom. The mud is only about ankle-deep, but sticky.

### King Solomon's Mind

King Solomon's Mind is a large cave. It was said to be built in dedication to King Solomon, although he isn't a resident in the Jungle of Words. The entrance on the outside is modeled after a giant skull, with one of the teeth opening like a door. The cave exits to The Reader's Palace. It is well-known for having cave paintings of cavepeople on its walls on the inside. The cave has a shaft that one might fall into. Exploring the cave without light is not recommended.

Dualot and Seealot often visit the cave.

### The Reader's Palace

The Reader's Palace is a large building that harbors a plethora of games and teaches people about linguistics skills. The palace is a combination of a library and an arcade. It includes a food court and a gift shop as well.

It is often run by Schnoz Ali, and Dualot, Seealot, King Tut, and Zebra sometimes work there.

When Schnoz Ali explored the jungle the first time, he discovered the palace, and several years later, he had Groucho and Olivia visit him and their friends in the palace.

## Trivia

* The map shows a waterfall in the southeast corner, though this area is never seen.
* The watering hole is not shown on the map, but is presumably along the path between the landing strip and King Tut's Hut.
* The fact that King Tut's Hut appears to be made of sandstone suggests that the jungle may have been a desert in the distant past.
