You won’t have to approach the assistant by yourself, because a cut-scene is going to be initiated right away. This is going to be an important conversation. You’ll learn the name of the thief – Suleiman. Ask the assistant about Coptic Artefacts and you’ll be granted access to these objects. As a result, your inventory will expand. Open it and you’ll see that you’ve received a Bag containing the Copts’ treasure. Don’t close the inventory window just yet. Instead, choose the parchment from Turk’s house and show it to the assistant. He will allow you to use his book to translate some of the hieroglyphs. Take this book from his table and wait for the game to display a close-up view of the parchment.
This is by far the most difficult puzzle of the entire game. You will be given only a few hints and your objective will be to translate three sentences. The parchment takes most of the screen and it consists of various symbols. The hints can be found above and under the parchment, however you’re going to have a lot of problems understanding their meaning. As for the words, they are to your left and you’ll have to start placing them in correct slots.
Full solution (I would also recommend taking a look at the screen):
First verse – Weapon, With, Magical Powers, Within, Seker, Head
Second verse – Cursed, Blood, Hidden, Under, North, Altar
Third verse – Before, Enter, Darkness, Destroy, Guard, Curse be on you forever
If you’ve done everything according to the plan, you are going to be rewarded with a full translation of the hieroglyphs (screen). You will also receive one new document –Translation of Hieroglyphs on a Parchment Found at the Turk’s.
Don’t exit the museum just yet. Instead, open your inventory and choose a black sphinx which you have found in Turk’s house. Talk to the assistant again. Obviously you will have to ask him about the statuette. As a result, you will receive some new info on the hieroglyphs on the sphinx. Before you decide to leave to museum, you should consider performing two other actions. Combine a knife with a necklace and you’ll receive a diamond. After that, use the diamond on the broken piece of mirror (screen).
