Hi Doreen, I moved your post over to Hints. On this page there is a link to a walkthrough; it's in the information under "About this Game." Maybe that will help.

I know this is not the place to post this, but I am at my wits' end. I have restarted this game twice, and still cannot find the Dummy book to translate the Egyptian letters on the back of the picture. If anyone knows where to find it, would you please tell me, so that I can go to Egypt and put me out of my misery!
Thank you,
Doreen

Hi MaG, the problem is, that I can't get to Egypt yet. When I click on the airport on the map, and click on Egypt, she says that she still has a few things to do before she can leave. For the life of me, I can't think what I have missed.

Can you check your inventory or the laptop to see if they might trigger - this dummy book?
-------------- Ah I think I found it.
Please check: Antique Shop After getting downstairs, open up your laptop and you will see that you have a new e-mail...open your inbox to read...enter 43140 to get the safe combo. Go over to safe and enter the combo...get the brooch and gems. Go over to the back part of the counter and try to open the left hand drawer...it's stuck. Go to the front part of the counter and open the left drawer to get knife. Also, get magnifying lens from right drawer and screwdriver from bottom, right shelves. Go to back part of counter and use the knife to open stuck drawer. Get book...also, get glue from bottom, left shelves.
Tell me if it is at the antique shop.

MaG, as far as I can recall, the book I got from the drawer was the book on antique brooches. I have all the other stuff except for the Dummy book.

OMG I have just found the Dummy book! When I replayed the game and went to the office supply store, I just got money out of the ATM machine and then went to the park and did all the stuff there--found the journal etc. When I went back to the supply store, all I could get was a map of Egypt and copies of the journal--no Dummy book. I was so frustrated that I deleted the game and reinstalled it. This time, I went into the store first, before I got money, and Lo and Behold, there was the Dummy book on the shelf. Just a word of warning to others, the first time you go to the ATM go into the supply store and the book will be there. If you do all the other stuff first it won't. I don't know if this was some kind of glitch, as the game is supposed to be non - linear.

Hi Doreen, which game is this?
Edit: Worked out that it's Echoes of the Past. Have amended thread title.

Hello I wonder if anyone can help me as I am playing Echoes of the Past and I'm stuck with Kyle in the temple of Suten-hem-he. I have all the coloured scarabs except the one from the statue that I need to feed with a pomegranite and wine. I have obtained the pomegranite from the market stall, but I find (from consulting the walkthrough) that I also need grapes from there to make wine. Unfortunately Kyle will no longer interract with the woman on the stall. In the walkthrough it suggests getting the grapes before the pomegranite. Does that mean that I will have to re-play the whole temple sequence from my previous save point before entering the temple? Is there any other way to get the grapes?
Many thanks, Elen

I haven't got to that part yet. I am still trying to find the safe on the wall.
Doreen
Elentgirl, I got the grapes first, so maybe you will have to replay. This game can be a tad picky at times.

Me neither Marian, I even went back to an earlier save, and still no luck, I tried to register on the AGS forums, but you have to answer a bunch of questions, and if you get even 1 wrong it says ERROR, and you have to start again. I can look at the forum for this game, and no one seems to have come up against this. Too bad because I am close to the end of the game.
