Enter a cave with 3 heads mounted on the wall. In each of the head's mouths is a purple gem. Use the crossbow with laser sight and explosive bolts or the revolver with the laser sight to shoot the gem out of the head's mouth and the mouth will close.

Enter the building and kill the two scorpions. Open the trap door and drop down into the tunnel. When you reach the fork in the tunnel, take the West tunnel and find the Torch. Hold on to the torch until you find a use for it, and do not throw it down a deep pit.
You may want to leave the torch and then come back for it after you have cleared out the varmints waiting in the rest of the tunnel. Go back and now continue East down the tunnel to enter a cave with three heads. Kill the three jackals, then go back and get your torch and return back to this room. Shoot out the purple gems out of the mouths to open the door.
10. Room with three scales:
Enter the room with three scales and shoot the bats. One scale has symbols that are blue and look like waves. Another has the symbol of the sun. The last scale has a symbol of a pyramid or triangle. You have an empty waterskin, a bag of sand, a torch, and a jerry can filled with gas in your inventory. You can solve this puzzle using common sense. Don't have one of the items? You can find them all in The Mastabas level.
On the PC, the Jerry can is full of gas, so you don't have to backtrack to the gas station. On the Playstation version, you may need to fill the Jerry can with gas from the gas pumps. Backtrack to the gas pumps by the truck. Stand next the gas pumps and select the Jerry can from the inventory and Use.
(Filling the Jerry can with gas is only the PSX version.)
Fill the waterskin with water from the nearby pool and use it to fill the scale with the wavy blue lines. The triangle looks like a pyramid, so try adding the bag of sand to the triangle scale. What's left? Just the Jerry can and a torch that when combined might look like a sun. Use the Jerry can to fill the scale with the sun with gas. Find your torch and light it in the room with the three heads on the wall. Now light the gas in the scale.
There are also four unlit torches in the room. Light the torches just because you can and they might do something.
