in the wall the left of the gate and see a puzzle.

This is made up of geometric shaped holes, 3 of which are colored.

Above are the signs seen on top of the archways of the entrance and
the 2 other pyramids.

The object of the puzzle is to place the appropriate crystals at the correct
place.

The columns are identified by the sign on the top. So they are from left to right:   
sun pyramid, entrance and small pyramid signs. The last must be this pyramid’s
sign.

The colors of those signs as seen outside are:     sun pyramid
is red; entrance is blue and the small pyramid is yellow.

The shapes for each column are identified based on the colors seen on the panel:   
sun pyramid which is red is a square (cubic); the entrance which is blue is an
inverted pyramid (tetrahedral) and the small pyramid which is yellow is a circle
(spherical).

Place the appropriate crystal of that shape in the column under the correct
sign.

Place the cubic crystal on the square hole on the
first column.

Place the tetrahedral crystal on the inverted pyramid
on the second column.

Place the spherical crystal on the circular hole on
the third column.

The last column must be for this main pyramid.

(left).

Look close at the tomb and use the sword to pry the cover of the tomb. The sword
