Here is an example of a map: http://tim.arlott.com/jas/tombmap.jpg
It is Jasujo's map that she made using the grid method posted by Cerise. Of course, there are many methods, this is just one to give you an idea.
Here is a handmade map by XenaAndGabrielle: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v613/ ... ap-XaG.jpg
with an explanation of how she goes about it here.
Here is another map made by Twisted Sanity, who uses yet another mapping method: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y31/te ... ombmap.gif
Known Facts:
Eveyone's tomb, doors, and phrases are different.
Your tomb is the same to you each time you enter it.
All passages seem to be two way. You should be able to return to the room you came from. The door may not be in the same position, but one of the doors will return you.
There are three library doors and one statue room in each tomb. In the libraries, you can read a scroll, but the effects haven't been found yet. The statue asks for a prophecy, but the correct one hasn't been found yet.
Library doors
The libraries should have these scrolls:
river - Fer, Djo, Tep, Kar
maze - Ben, Lat, Saf, Nem
time - Ra, Set, Ahn, Kha
Here is an image posted my mcgeorge on neoitems displaying all the symbols and scrolls with their names.
There are about 85 rooms, 5 doors in each room (a few might have a blank wall), and a total of around 425 doors.
If you read a scroll, you can't enter for 12 hours. If you get caught in a trap, you can't enter for 1-3 hours and your pet may temporarily be turned to a pile of sand.
There are 6 door colors and 4 door shapes. The riddles will only tell you the color and shape of the door you need.
Shapes:
A humble portal of stone (rectangle) [just a regular old door]
Mouth of the river (triangle) [think about it ... the place where a river starts will look like a triangle ... because it starts flowing out]
The aspect of a star (pentagon) [5 sides to a standard star]
Window into the soul (oval) [your eyes are ovalish]
Colors:
Blinding radiance of the sun (yellow) [the sun]
Thunderous clouds obscuring the sky (black) [makes it dark]
The waking dawn on the dunes (red) [at dawn, thing all look red]
Banks of the mighty river (green) [everything is green on the banks]
Kingdom of the lightgiver (blue) [the sky is the sun's (lightgiver's) kingdom ... and it is blue]
Bright guardian of the night (silver) [The moon is sort of silverish]
The combination does not tell you which symbol you need, but does limit your search to 12 possible doors to find your statue in.
After you find the Nuria faerie statue and go back to your library and read the scroll with the symbol that was on the statue's base, your pet now understands it. Nothing else has been seen to come of this as of yet, though.
The fortune teller's phrase has changed to: "I see ancient pharaohs laid at rest." You supposedly need to visit her and see this before moving on.
Then if you play a game of Pyramids, at the end you should see a parchment on the bottom of your screen. This looks to be a clue to rooms as each column has a number, color, symbol, and shape.
If you go the room under the single dot that your parchment describes, you will get an RE which gives you a dirty stone piece. Take that to the toy repair shop and you get a piece on your tablet. If you then go to the fortune teller, her phrase is changed:
"So... you've returned," she says. "Something remarkable is happening. I am receiving many images in my crystal ball, images of strange, distant places..."
"...yet I can't make out these images just now. Perhaps something will appear soon. You may view the Mysterious Tablet if you wish."
If the dirty stone piece that you get from your trapped room ends up being destroyed by Donny at the Toy Repair Shop (he sometimes has trouble cleaning it for some reason), then all you will need to do is go back to the temple immediately. Do not wait. You will receive a new piece that you can bring to Donny to try cleaning up.
A while after the first piece of your tablet is filled in, the fortune teller changes to this clue: "I see debris on a frigid battlefield."
That leads you to play a game of Snow Wars (not the flash game, the original HTML Battleship-like one), after which you should find your second parchment. On this one, you find the door under the double dots.
After the second piece, the fortune teller changes again, "I see a rivalry of five."
That leads you to place a bet and feed one of the poogle in Poogle Races to get the third parchment once you've placed your bet. On the third parchment, you find the door under the triple dots.
After the third piece, the fortune teller gives the next clue: "I see fortunes cast upon the waters."
This leads you to go to the Underwater Cavern. Simply go fishing, and you'll find the fourth parchment. You'll find the door under the four dots.
For the fifth clue, go to the fortune teller and get this message: "I see countless eyes." Then lose at Potato Counter and that gives you your next parchment. Find the door under the five dots and you're on your way.
On the sixth clue, the fortune teller says: "I see a great deal of fun." If you spin the Wheel of Mediocrity, then try to spin a second time, you'll get your sixth parchment. Find the door under the six dots to get the next piece.
On the seventh clue, the fortune teller will tell you "I see a rule that must be broken" Go to the Lever of Doom, and a pull will get you the parchment. You must have 100np on hand. The door under the seven dots will get your next piece.
The eighth clue, you are told: "Today's lotto number is [numbers]" Go to Kreludor, and fill in the Mining Corp. with the numbers, different to everybody. This'll get you the eighth piece of parchment, which will tell you which room to go to beneath the eight dot header.
For the ninth clue, the fortune teller says: "I see a tournament that rolled on." Go to The Krawk Island Deckball Championships. Then click on Players. If you scroll down, you will see Prince Jazan's name. Click on it and you will get your parchment. Follow the door under nines dots.
For the tenth clue, the fortune teller says: "I see a chia resting by a tree." Have one of your pets take a Tiki Tour. Your parchment should be on the first page after you sign up for the tour. Find the door under the ten dots.
For the eleventh clue, the fortune teller says: "I see you lost in the darkness." Play a game of Fetch while seeking Faerie Dust (refresh the request screen until you get that for your quest.) Your parchment should appear after you lose that game and have found the Faerie Dust. Find the door under the eleven dots.
For the twelvth clue, the fortune teller says: "I see you giving into your dreams." Wish for a Hieroglyph Fragment at the Wishing Well. Follow the door under the twelve dots.
Also, it seems the new clues are coming out at about 1:30 and 7:30 NST, every six hours.

Ok, I was just looking at the Neoboards, and some guy is swearing that we all have 12 different statues, not just 1. He said that you find the other 11 by reading a scroll, then finding a door that corresponds to the the scroll's color and symbol. The shape of the door you're looking for is supposedly the same one from your riddle on the Tomb entrance page. Has anyone tried this method. Has anyone seen more than 1 door with Nuria in it bearing a different glyph at her base??

Why can't TNT just release another plot part 
it has been nearly a week since the last part was released!

I just finished the tablet... but I have yet to find the statue...
I'm lookin for a yellow triangle room lol, tried 2/12
Anyways, anyone who has found the statue, have you had more luck in figuring out your completed tablet?

Ummm that's not totally unlikely but not very likely.
Maybe TNT wants me to think its unlikely.
*shrug* worth a shot...

Tried it, does nothing for me. About 99% of what they post on those boards is bull, by the way.

true, itll only be an hour wait if you get it wrong compared to the 12 hours for the scroll. but if you got to wait 12 hours per scroll..ugh, that's like 2 weeks of searching.
But still, it doesnt make sense as you'll only find "12" statues all asking for a prophecy..

I'm terribly behind on all this plot stuff. So I decided it would be smart to start mapping the cave since it seems handy. So the tools which I have are PSP 8(I just recently got PSP 8 and I have no previous idea of the tricks and such) So I tried minizing it, so that part made sense, but the problem I'm having is that I can't seem to move the piece that i minized onto a new sheet. So the cave mapping isn't really working out. If anyone out there has PSP 8 or any knowledge about it and can help, that would be great, either in a pm or just a reply post would be great. I just basically need a run through of how to make the image smaller and how to move that smaller image into a new page(the new page being where all the smaller pieces are going to be held and such) So if anyone can help that would be great.

Yay. In an hour I can finally complete my Tablet XD
Hellllp Please!

Hiya everyone! First I'd like to thank you for all your posts. I've enjoyed reading them and they've definitely helped me out alot!
I've found 11 pieces of the hieroglyph. Unfortunately, I've run in to a snag. I have wished and wished for a hieroglyph fragment at the wishing well but no parchment paper has popped up.
I assume I'm doing something really silly!
sooooooo can someone please tell me what exactly I need to type in at the wishing well to get the 12th hint parchment to pop up? Thanks sooo much!

Don't be so exited. At least you've got something to do. I think I'm gonna die of old age before this plot wraps up
