Riddle of the Sphinx Hints
How do I know where to place the stars?
1 of 11: Look closely at the size of the chart; does it look familiar?
2 of 11: The 9x10 grid is exactly the same grid size as on all of the star charts found on various pots throughout this section of the Pyramid.
3 of 11: You'll need to place the stars on the wall chart in the same pattern as one of the star charts on one of the pots... but which one?
4 of 11: Each pot may be rotated side-to-side, and up-and-down.
5 of 11: Look at the bottoms of the pots with the star charts.
6 of 11: Each pot has a different picture on the bottom.
7 of 11: Do these pictures look familiar?
8 of 11: If you haven't already done so, you should figure out which stars to use.
