Weighty Matters
Examine the sarcophagus at the other end of
the chamber. The massive dimensions and
ornately carved stone lid probably weigh more
than the water truck parked next to the tent.
Try opening the lid. It's clear that the lid is
too heavy for you and the rest of the team to
move, but there is a large chip where a pole
could be inserted and used as a lever to move
the lid. You hear a crash when you try to open
the sarcophagus. The noise reverberates off
the stone walls, but it's clear that something
happened near the tomb entrance.
"Mistakes drive away the unteachable."
Turn around and look along the left side of
the room. There are broken spears here.
These relics are old and it's doubtful that the
wood shafts alone are strong enough to still
function as a lever. Look closely at the wall
where you found the spears and you'll see a
tile with an etched circular design. You can't
do anything with it right now, but perhaps
there is another artifact somewhere else
in the tomb that can help you unlock this
unusual puzzle.
Four Medallions?
Insert the spears into the hole in the
sarcophagus lid and give it a nudge. This
makeshift lever isn't strong enough to remove
the lid. Turn around again and examine
the stone chest in the corner of the room.
Thankfully you don't need another lever
to open this lid. Inside the chest are four
jars. Open each jar and add the medallions
to your inventory. Are these circular discs
valuable treasure or important puzzle pieces
that could potentially unlock another hidden
chamber somewhere inside the tomb?
A Curse Upon You
When you rearranged the mirrors around the
lamp you created enough light to illuminate
the artwork and writing on the chamber
walls. Just above the lamp is a message... or
a warning. Use your dictionary to translate
the hieroglyphs. The last part of the message
doesn't make sense at all. Take a closer look
at the bottom section and try decoding the
message by hand—first try using vowels like
O, E and A in the script. If you need help, the
solution to this gloomy threat is spelled out in
the photograph to the right.
