"The air in this vaulted chamber is thick with the scent of spices... and old death."

A brick will move on your right revealing a new passage. Pick up the Uzi and the Medi-Pack or save it for later needs. Go back to the statue. Pull the lever and the bricks you stand on will move down. Go back down to the brick you moved earlier (2). Jump to the right to enter the new opening.

Explorer's Notebook
"An inscription reveals that the owner of this notebook was one Dr E. Brendan Caldwell, a name familiar to Lara Croft. Dr Caldwell made many discoveries in this region during the twenties and thirties. Many of the pages have perished with time, but the little that remains is intriguing... The notes and drawings seem to relate to a particular part of the tomb. We are certain we have discovered a secret room to the west of the chamber which bears the mark of Horus. Alas, without a new stock of dynamite I fear we will be unable to blast through. It is so disheartening; we are almost there. I resolve to return and continue this exploration after my trip to Tibet."
Because this map didnīt exist on the official site (only a broken link) when i wrote this walkthrough I had to draw the map myself. Hope it contains everything. The map is built by copying details from the other maps.
