That means that you need to light another torch.
From the
walkthrough here:
Your torch will stay lit for a limited amount of time. However, if it dies out, you can combine the second stick and rag in your inventory with gin and matches to make another torch.

Hi deleterman,
Are you still using a torch, or is the lab completely lit now without need for one? As MaG says, the only instance where I can think of a Game Over in this part for no reason is when your torch burns out.
If you look to the right side of your screen while you're in the lab, do you see a timer bar there?

Hi, Make sure you have lite the torch before you go into the lab. (This is a warning I found in a walkthough)You have about 21 minutes for your torch, you may light another. I don't know exactly where you are in this lab. But if you have done everything and are playing with the keys, and trying to open the desk, You insert both keys , turn left key left! Right key Right, if you do it wrong a bomb will detonate, ending game. I found saved games but I can't find where to install them in the game.

Yep, I know where you are.
You need to assemble/light a torch until you can work out a way to get an independent light source going in the lab area. That timer bar on the right will appear and gradually burn down as the torch does similarly.
For XP the save game folder should be at C:\MOTM, if my memory serves me. I'm not sure about Vista or Windows 7.

Hi,
You have to light the torch before you enter the lab, then you have about 21 minutes for each torch, you can light another. It's a timed thing but not to bad Just save and practice a lot. When you hear the click to get into the lab, got to the door and light torch before going in.

Re: S.H-mystery of the mummy. - 10/13/10 02:39 AM
Thanks for the info . in a flash it came back to me. but now after i read the sign and clicked on the door to open it and he said it's locked...what gives ?
Posted By: MaG
Re: S.H-mystery of the mummy. - 10/13/10 03:19 AM
When you read the sign - did you also click on it?
Are you trying to open the exit door? That door is the opposite one from the door with the sign.

Re: S.H-mystery of the mummy. - 10/13/10 03:37 AM
yes after i read the sign i clicked on the door -he sez its locked !! what gives ?
Posted By: MaG
Re: S.H-mystery of the mummy. - 10/13/10 04:04 AM
That door with the sign is always closed.
If you want to exit use the door on the other side of the room.

I was not understanding where you are in the game.

Hi deleterman,
After you've read the riddle in close-up on the door you need to go back to the urn room. Locate the urn in the very centre of the room. Place the Brahman seal you have in your inventory in that urn. That should open the locked door in the rotating room for you.

AHA... just as you said , now i find myself in the Scorpion puzzle , Yikes it looks like i don't have much time ..like 2 seconds ..what to do ??
Posted By: Rushes
Re: S.H-mystery of the mummy. - 10/14/10 07:29 PM
From an older thread, here's a step-by-step. Hope it helps! --
As soon as you can, pick up the bucket on the left and put it over the scorpion by your foot. Immediately grab the other bucket, and take a step towards the door. Grab Parkeys bag. Take the remaining bucket out of your inventory and go behind the checkerboard thing. Look down and place the bucket over the remaining scorpion. Don't forget to grab a wooden board that isn't far away before you leave this area.

thanks, just one question - does the clock stop when i get parkey's bag ?? just when i get started it's down to almost half..again thanks a milllion for all your help.

Re: S.H-mystery of the mummy. - 10/14/10 08:56 PM
Yes, the timer stops momentarily after you bucket the first scorpion.

Boy I didn't get far...went into the smokey room and did the puzzle -but no X next to the tilted family tree...i got the spear head and all ready to go but no X ...what do i need to do ? shouldn't something happen after i finish the puzzle ?? any thoughts on this snag ??
thanks....

Re: S.H-mystery of the mummy. - 10/16/10 10:58 PM
It sounds as though the word puzzle you just solved is incorrect somehow. The words need to be on their correct lines as shown here:
First Line: YOU WILL FIND
Second Line: IF YOU CUT
Third Line: (skip this line)
Fourth Line: UNDER
Fifth Line: THE RELIGION
Sixth Line: THE PLACE SHINES
Then back away from the puzzle, and you should see the X.

Re: S.H-mystery of the mummy. - 10/17/10 04:03 AM
off and running like a wild dog!!just hit a Japanese tile puzzle...yikes.did the bypass but can't get the lever from the puzzle alcove.

These are tough puzzles if you havent seen one before. I can send you a picture of the finish if you want.
p.s. - the bypass gets you almost done, but not quite. You will need to complete the last few piec es yourself.

Re: S.H-mystery of the mummy. - 10/17/10 11:27 AM
Deleterman -- when you did the bypass action, did you see the puzzle solve itself? If you didn't, then it hasn't really been bypassed.
If that isn't what's happening, I have no idea why you can't get the lever.

thank you so much for all your time . looks like i just might need a save after the puzzle. i don't think i have all the tiles or something is screwed up..any saved game laying around.?

I don't think you could have begun the puzzle without finding all the tiles, so that's not it. Be sure you have filled in all the blacks for the image and also all the whites for the background.
In desperation, send me a saved game and I will try to play through this part for you and return it solved.
