seraphson: I suppose this would be considered a "quasi-spolier" but I see it as a level design glitch and wanted to post it here just in case someone else runs into the same issue. I got to the coastal ruins level, specifically the part after the two skeletons come after you and you get to the top but need a key. I found out that the prior level (Alexandria? Where you talk to the fat guy for a bit) there is a Egyptian Adventure path that I didn't bother to take and the key can be found there. The key is not optional but the ability to go from Alexandria/Egyptian Adventure to the Coastal Ruins is. I personally think they should have put the locked door between the two levels and forgoed the orginal location. The point is do the Egyptian Adventure before you continue anywhere else.
