Mayan Temple Mission

Hints

Hint #1

You need to step on a series of stones from the top to the bottom to traverse the pit.
The distance between the stones allows you to step one stone in any direction, including diagonal.

Hint #2

The symbols on the leather match the symbols on the stones.

Hint #3

The way the symbols on the leather are paired, it suggests that those 2-stone sequences are recommended by whoever drew them.

Hint #4

There is only one correct path to the other side. It involves exactly 8 steps.

Hint #5

Only one of the stones in the top row is near the stone with which it is paired on the leather.

Hint #6

The third stone in the top row is the only place you can start without then getting stuck.

Hint #7

Because of the following pairing as seen on the leather, the only safe move for the next step is the 4th stone in the 2nd row.

Hint #8

Following the pairs from the leather will dictate all the safe steps to reach the bottom.

Hint #9

The last step should reveal the number stone. Check your Mayan symbols document to translate the 2-digit code revealed by the stone.

Answer

The unlock code is 48, corresponding to 4 Ahau, 8 Kumku, the "creation date" for the calendar cycle during which this temple was constructed.

Location: Tunnel

You open the door to the tunnel and notice a series of stepping stones poking out of murky water. A body is laying crumpled at your feet, with a dart lodged in its side. The man, who is not one of the archaeologists, is clutching a piece of worn leather in his hand.

The only way forward is the stepping stones, but between the blow tubes extending from the walls and who-knows-what lurking in the water, any misstep could cost you your life!

Objective: Make your way through the tunnel.

Enter the code.
