How to access an element of an array inside of an array in c?

I am trying to access the first element inside the array 'levels'.

unsigned char Level1[70] =
{
    0x02,0x02,0x02,0x02,0x02,0x02,0x02,0x02,0x02,0x02,0x02,0x00,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x03,0x07,0x02,0x02,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x03,0x03,0x02,0x02,0x01,
    0x01,0x01,0x0b,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x02,0x02,0x01,0x08,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x02,0x02,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x01,0x0f,0x02,0x02,0x02,0x02,0x02,
    0x02,0x02,0x02,0x02,0x02,0x02
};

unsigned char (*levels)[1] = {&Level1};

I have tried things like:

unsigned char curr_level[70] = levels[0];

but they have not worked.

Thank you!

WARNING: this answer may be INCORRECT See comments for details.

According to your declaration,

unsigned char (*levels)[1] = {&Level1};

levels is an array of char pointers, and therefore levels[0] is a char pointer.
So depending on what you want to do, you may try one of the followings:

unsigned char *curr_level=levels[0];

or

unsigned char *curr_level;
curr_level=malloc(sizeof(Level1)); /* Don't forget to call free() on it later */
memcpy(curr_level,levels[0],sizeof(Level1));
