The Shrine of Naos

 mash the far
vase on the left to expose a button. Climb up and step on the button to
open the big center sarcophagus. Go through, up either way to a blue teleporter.
Enter and defeat the golem, then walk down the ramp to the foot of the big
sitting statue. Read the sign about alignment (50,000 miles yet?) and then
press on the relief between the statue's feet (Image 1), opening a secret
passage. Enter, go up the ramp right, and the wall will open. Go through
into a room with a small house-like structure (Image 2). On the yellow wall
across from where you entered the room is a tall panel hidden in the wall
(Image 3). Walk against it to open the house structure. Step into the house
and ride the lift to a small room with a blue teleporter (Image 4). Go through
and you end up on the lap of the sitting statue. Grab all the goodies and
the Guardian Key, then drop down and return through the passage between
his feet. In the room with the house structure, make a right down a ramp
and press the small hidden square button on the right wall, opening a door
to the left of the button (Image 5). See the patterned squares on the wall
(Image 6). Jot down the patterns Tic-Tac-Toe style and go through the teleporter
on the left. Drop down and go through the red teleporter to the Ancient
Temple of Nefertum. Go right at the 4-snake statue (Image 7), then press
on the wall to the right of the tall statue to open a passage (it may already
be open from when you dropped down earlier). Go left and outside to a temple,
going up the ramp into the temple. Go left to a door with a bird on it (Image
8) and enter into a room with a sarcophagus in the middle. Rush to the sarcophagus
on the right wall to trip a fire trap. Push the button inside the sarcophagus
to stop the fire trap, then go to the steps at the foot of the center sarcophagus
and climb up, triggering a laser trap. Hit the button in the trap to shut
it off, opening the sarcophagus and a passage at its feet (Image 9). Climb
into the sarcophagus and grab the Rough Cut Gem, then follow the passage
to a bridge with 9 floorplates (Image 10). Time to play the most frustrating
game of Tic-Tac-Toe ever! Use your jotted patterns to try and cross. Keep
trying until you make it (I've gone up to like 25 tries, so it's a long
one sometimes, folks. The answer seems to randomly generate EACH TIME you
try, and every second try is an auto-miss. Which means you can't just try
all 3 patterns and get through on one of them in 3 tries max. You have to
pick the right pattern at the right time. FunFunFUN!) Once you cross and
collect the Imsethy Canopic Jar, the bars ahead will raise, but simply back
up to teleport outside. Now enter the temple and go right through the blue
teleporter to the ancient Wheel of Time (Image 11). You want Summer Solstice,
so guess what? Press the eye button across the wheel until the wheel aligns
with the Constellation of Hippopotamus. Turn around to face the wheel from
the button and walk to the scarab plate on the right wall (Image 12). Strike
or shoot it to open a secret passage leading to a big blue teleporter, meaning
time travel awaits. Travel into the future (or present) by entering this
teleporter to the Temple of Nefertum. Go out to the modern Wheel of Time
and take the blue teleporter on the right (Image 13), then leave the temple
and go through the broken hallway to the red teleporter leading to Temple
of Horus, enter. Go right at the floor ankh to the red teleporter leading
to the Pyramid of Anubis (Image 14), enter.
