The Dig Hints
What am I supposed to do in that room?
1 of 10: Notice the dim light at the top of the screen.
2 of 10: You can do something with it.
3 of 10: Why don't you try using one of the sceptres on the light?
4 of 10: Now you get a picture of the planet and two moons.
5 of 10: Seen anything else with two moons before?
6 of 10: One of the museum displays showed the smaller moon eclipsing the larger one.
7 of 10: The sceptres control the position of the moons -- use the gold one for the large moon and the silver sceptre for the small one. Click to select the position of the moons.
8 of 10: The spot of the light on the planet tells you where to "put" the eclipse.
9 of 10: Put the large moon near that spot (at about 2 o'clock) and then put the small moon in between the planet and the large moon.
10 of 10: You should see the moons align near the tomb in a cut scene.
