2 of 13: After you escape the Sphinx, go back to Cairo and see if your father is at home.
3 of 13: If you go around to the house's front door (near the bazaar entrance), you'll find your father talking to those two incompetent assassins.
4 of 13: To get rid of them, talk to them until they decide to abandon this contract and leave.
5 of 13: Talk to your father and tell him that you need the key for the tomb that's in the Sphinx.
6 of 13: It seems that locksmith whose hand the Pharaoh gave you earlier to enter the Sphinx wasn't very bright. He made several of his body parts into keys.
7 of 13: Since dear old dad forgot where he hid whatever body part opens the tomb, you'll have to search the house for it.
8 of 13: Search the house's lobby, bedroom, and upstairs area for all interactive items.
9 of 13: The only thing that's usable is the big costly pillar that's in the upstairs area.
10 of 13: You may have tried pulling a lever on it when you first started the game, and noticed that it didn't do you any good in escaping the house.
11 of 13: Try it again now, and notice that it opens up a secret storage compartment in the lobby.
12 of 13: It's at the bottom of the big water tank.
13 of 13: Go down to the lobby and right-click on the secret compartment to get the eyeball key that you need.
