Help me! I can't figure out how to roll the 2 boulders to do whatever it is that the pyramid is going to do! Even with the online solution, I can't see a way to get behind the boulder to roll it into the teleporter.
Thanks! (Spoiler welcome!)

You need to start on the left and get that boulder in position before working on the right...
...but as it turns out, there's a totally different solution that doesn't require destroying any boulders, uncovering any lava, or exposing the pyramid's secret. It gets a higher score, too, because you destroy more Kabooms. I may do a "Secret of the Pyramid 2" someday if I can find the time. Or is this hint enough?

This is what I was referring to

This one takes real patience. So don't rush.
First collapse the breakaway tiles. See attachment. These tiles are makes in yellow circles and red arrows. To do this, watch the pattern of movement of the kabooms. Every two kabooms change sides. Inbetween the change of sides, it is safe to move Peegue (P) or Qookie (Q) into that area. Break the tile, then wait until it is safe to move out. Also be sure to remove the bonus coins in the pyramid. Do all four breakaway tiles.
Now when the kabooms change sides again, have Q and P enter the red transporter. See attachment. Have one stand where the red circle is placed and the other push the boulder along the yellow lines. Leave the boulder so that the transporter is open. Both P and Q enter the transporter when the kabooms change sides.
P and Q enter the blue transporter when it is safe. Have one stand where the far right red circle is while the other pushes the boulder down and moves to stand where the bottom middle red circle is. Switch between characters to move the boulder to the position shown in the attachment with one character behind it ready to push it into the transporter. BUT don't push it now.
Have the other character enter the blue transporter when it is safe and enter the red transporter. Push the boulder there over in front of the transporter ready to push it.
Push the boulder into the blue transporter first, then immediately push the other boulder into the red transporter. Half the kabooms with be destroyed.
Both P and Q should enter their transporters when it is safe. Then each should carefully follow the two kabooms behind the pillars to collect the coins. Then carefully move to the top side of the pyramid to do the same. Once this is done, they can enter the yellow and green transporters and move to the exit.
This level will be easier if you use ALT-X. If you don't know how, here are the instructions.
If you hold down the ALT key and the X key at the same time and also use the right number keys at the same time, you can zoom in or out, left or right, up or down, or tilt up or down.
ALT-X and the 9 key, you will zoom out.
ALT-X and 3 zooms in,
ALT-X and 4 moves the view to the left,
ALT-X and 6 moves the view to the right.
ALT-X and 7 or 1 tips the view up or down,
ALT-X and 8 moves the view down,
ALT-X and 2 moves the view up.

There's another way that doesn't involve exposing any lava or even going into the pyramid: after taking the bonus points, move both Stinkies to the left side and roll the boulder to the spot right below the blue teleporter. Then move both of them to the right side and roll the boulder to the left edge of the right side with a Stinker below it, ready to push it up. The next move takes timing: push the boulder up into the red teleporter and comes to rest on the blue teleporter (it can't go through it because of the other boulder on the other side); it'll stop there if it arrives just as a Kaboom gets to the other side. The next move again takes timing: go back to the pyramid and roll the boulder to the edge of the board without exploding a Kaboom. The hard part is over: go off to the bottom area and wait. The rhythm of the Kabooms will be broken, and they will start running into each other and self destructing. When enough of them have killed themselvers, gathter up the coins and exit, with the pyramid still holding its secret.
