In ''[[MediEvil 2 0.19]]'', a prototype version of the game from December 1999, an alternate photograph of the Professor and Palethorn can be found in the Professor's bedroom. In this version, they appear to be standing in front of pyramids, suggesting that their expedition might have originally led them to Egypt instead of the Hebrides, or at least that they have previously travelled to Egypt together.
