* [[All Hail the Great God Mickey]]: Items recovered include the Great Altar {{spoiler|(the television)}} and the Sacred Urn {{spoiler|(the toilet)}}; the general assumption of all the future archaeologists is that everything they find is religiously significant.
* [[Ancient Astronauts]]: Parodied. The book's discussion of freeways could be taken, practically word-for-word, from a present-day von Dänikenite's description of the Nazca lines.
Line 12:
* [[The Merch]]: In-universe. The last few pages describe the gift shop items sold by the museum in conjunction with the Motel exhibit. They include a graffiti-covered section of bathroom wall (available in alabaster or 24-carat gold), a crystal paperweight containing a reproduction of the artificial plant from the hotel corridor, and so on.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Heinrich von Hooligan (Erich von Daniken); Howard Carlson (Howard Carter).
* [[Satire]]: The entire thing is a satire of King Tut's tomb.
* [[Toilet Humor]]: The deadpan descriptions of various bathroom items sometimes verge on this.
