How do you beat the sphinx on nabooti island?

Answer 1

There are five areas you pass through in getting the jewel from the Diamond Mines. First, you will need a hardhat. You get this by completing the Safari. (see related question)

Beginning at the mine entrance :

1. Put on the hardhat
2. Go into the mine at right and set the electric fence timer
3. Run immediately to the hole in the fence - left and up the dirt pile, up onto the conveyor belt, right and jump right across the space in the belt, and up on the barrel.
4. Inside the mine, walk up the mine cart chute, jumping over any mine carts, until you reach the elevator. Go down.
5. Turn off the sparking elevator switch.
6. Push a barrel of explosives from the left side, over to the big rock.
7. Turn on the sparking switch, and it detonates the explosive.
8. Turn off the switch.
9. Push another barrel over, all the way right to the wall.
10. Turn on the switch.
11. Enter the mine and roll the mine cart.
12. Duck down to avoid the roof, and jump over the pointy rocks (the game warns you). After three jumps, you reach the diamonds
13. Look through the diamonds with the magnifier provided, The White jewel should be the second of the two close together at the bottom left corner. (It has a triangle symbol on it.)

Once you have all five jewels (green, purple, red, white, blue), return them to the totem in the museum.

Answer 2

In order to get the Blue Jewel at the Sphinx in Giza, you need two things

• A turban : go to the Blue Nile Falls and get the blue flower. Exchange it at Nabooti for a turban.
• The cell phone : go to the Mountains of the Moon and climb to the cave. Beat the old man at Mancala to enter (see the related question). You get the Red Jewel and a cell phone.

When you arrive at Giza :

1. Wear the turban. One of the digger will give you a shovel.
2. Go right to find Vince, the head man.
3. On the shovel, there is a phone number 555-6789. Call this number.
4. While Vince answers and his men run off, go to the bag and get the moonstone.
5. Put it atop the Sphinx statue and the door will open.

Inside the Sphinx there are four challenges :

1. You will reach a series of dashes on the wall ( -|-- ). When you click on one, the other three rotate by 90°. So press the first, third, and fourth lines (-) exactly once and they will all line up (----). This allows you to take the upper path and avoid the scorpion.
2. When you reach the set of four blocks, push them off either side to recreate the design on the wall below. This will open the wall. You can push them on top of each other to do this. (If you can't, pull the reset switch and try again.) Push one or more blocks across to jump from.
3. When you climb down the rope and reach the chamber, the floor will collapse. There is a rope to get back up. You are back at the four hieroglyphics in the entryway. Remember the 4 symbols in ascending order (man, wavy sea, bird, eye) and jump on only those blocks, one block in each row. For example, only the big-head man in the first row, only the wavy sea on the second. When you reach the top, jump quickly to the rope.
4. For the last puzzle, there are 2 big statues and 4 little statues. Each little statue has dots on its belly (one dot, two dots, 3 , and 4). The switches each drop a little statue, but the room will begin to fill with sand. You must drop the statues in order (1 dot, 2 dots, 3, 4) before the sand covers the switches. The small mummy case opens to reveal the Blue Jewel.

*There is a reset switch in the left passage if you fail the sand challenge.

Answer 3

The final challenge of the tomb is the Sand Room.

There are 4 little statues, one above each of the 4 switches. Each little statue has dots on its belly (one dot, two dots, three, and four). The switch on each post drops a little statue, but the room will begin to fill with sand. You must drop the statues in order (1 dot, 2 dots, 3 dots, 4) before the sand covers the switches. The small mummy case opens to reveal the Blue Jewel.

The order of the switches is effectively this : The far right switch, the center-left switch, the center-right switch, and finally the far left switch. Numerically, four, two, three, one.

*There is a reset switch in the left passage if you fail the sand challenge.

Answer 4

The order of the jewels in the Nabooti statue, from top to bottom, are purple, green, red, white, and blue.
