>My prob is I have no idea which ones I have read already LOL!!

Ah, yeah, I'm being obsessive about keeping track! I can tell you where
about half my doors lead to. I have 14 levels mapped, screencaptured and
numbered/lettered for each door. Figured that would be the easiest way to
make sure I didn't walk around in circles! The library I had took me
about 10 minutes to get to this way, but then I could backtrack and found
out I only had to click on two doors to find... the hard part was already
done- finding the WRONG doors, hehe! Then for the library, I write under
the screenied door which scrolls I've read already.

Sick, I know!

Not! I think it's wonderful. My extra monitors are stuck in the garage for
the timebeing, so I am dealing with life without red, which affects more
colours than it should. ><

I finally wandered around and found one of my librarys. Took a long time,
and I know I was wandering in circles (I ended up at the beginning again,
little tab at the bottom says leave the tomb) and I think I am beginning to
recognize some of the corridors. If I knew how to do what you just
described, I would.

Ah-ha! This seems to confirm my theory, that the riddle refers to the
hieroglyphs. My riddle says,

Kingdom of the lightgiver
Window into the soul

Now: "window into the soul" is obviously an eye. And in fact, I did get
an interesting room with hieroglyphs (that "my pet studied") when I
clicked on a door with an eye over it yesterday. (But I was engulfed in
a jelly today when I tried a different eye-door -- different shape and
colour.)

I think "kingdom of the lightgiver" could be the rising sun picture --
but the first time I tried one of those doors I was buried in sand.
(OTOH, it may simply have been the *wrong* sun-door...)

"Banks of the mighty river" might refer to the double-wave picture that
I have seen on some of the doors.

Of course, this leaves out the other two elements of the doors puzzle:
shape and colour. There seems to be no hints for that, at least for the
moment.

Hours of fun for all the family... 🙂

Mine is:
A humble portal of stone (I think I read on lupe plains this was the
regular rectangular door)
The waking dawn on the dunes (red?)

But then somewhere else says the lines correspond to the pictures? So
who
knows!

>Wow! Might I hire thou?

Hehe, sure... 😉

I'm guessing everyone's set-up for tombs is different, or I'd just set up
a website for my screenshots! But it's not too hard to do, just time
consuming. I'll try to not make your eyes glaze over: Open 2 windows of
Paint. For the first level, take a screenshot of the five doors, paste
into paint window 1, then cut out just the five doors section and put that
in paint window 2. Press the arrow on the internet screen to take you to
the next 5 doors and repeat. You'll end up with a string of doors, save
that as something like "temple01" meaning the 1st 'level' of the tomb.
Then click on the first door in that series. Open a third Paint window
and name the next floor "temple02". In "temple01" write in the door "2a"
or whatever letter would correspond to which section of doors you ended up
in when you clicked that door (don't forget to look both left and right to
see all the doors on that level!)

I'm up to 14 levels so far, and I've only found 1 library. But at least I
know which doors lead in circles now. My first time getting to the
library took me about 10-15 minutes because of making the screenshots, but
the next three times took me literally 3 clicks because I knew which doors
to click to get me right to the library.

Unfortunately, I get to start over in 3 1/2 hours because I read the 4
scrolls in library 1!

And I hope my explanation was coherent and helpful, sorry if everyone
knows how to do that, I'm hoping to help!!

I have used the explanation on maraqua.net, which gives me a meaning of
a silver oval. so off to silver ovals I went, and found the statue
today. In my history AND the addressbar I can see which scrolls I have
read already and which ones i still need.

So once you have the screenshots, is it pretty linear (as in if you take the
first hall on the left of level 1 you will end up on the first section on
the left of level 2?)

Well, sort of but not quite... you'll know, for example that taking the
first door on level one will bring you to the 16th door on level 2. And
if you end up circling back to level 1, you can try door 2 on level one,
which may take you to door 8 on level 2. (or door 4 on level 8! I guess
'level' wasn't the right word for me to use to describe it, hmmm...)

ACK!! I just realized I did the Lenny Conundrum wrong, so I'm sure I
answered you wrong too, my brain just doesn't want to work tonight. Dang

You have helped! But how do you do the screen capture?
I get as far as opening two windows of Paint. If I highlight and copy the
doors section, Paint won't let me paste it. Paint won't let me paste
anything.

Hmmm... then *this* probably is the rising sun picture, which I have
seen. And if so, what is "kingdom of the lightgiver", then? Mysteries,
mysteries...

See someone else's reply: apparently there is such a thing as a plain
stone door (though I haven't seen it yet)

> Bright guardian of the night (The moon??)

That sounds very likely. I haven't seen a moon picture yet, but it may
be there somewhere.

I'm off to try the temple again, and this time I'll just wander about a
lot before trying a door. I'll let yous know if I find a moon, or a
better theory for my "kingdom of the lightgiver" line.

When you're on the internet page you want to screencapture, click the
'print screen' button on your keyboard, should be on the left above the
arrows (hope to narrow down your search a little!). That doesn't actually
print the screen, it just takes a picture of it. But it takes a picture
of the whole screen, so you need the two paint windows open to cut all the
surrounding stuff out of the picture and just end up with the doors.

Hope that's helpful, I'm a bit more awake this morning! 😉

Everyone's tomb is different.

They mean the "normal" door shape.

Thanks!! I'll let you know if I can work it. It will take a while, I am
not feeling well, to go with my other stuff.
