Neopets released the Temple of 1,000 Tombs in conjunction with its 2005 Lost Desert Plot. I don't know if I can create a guide, but I'm going to track what happens to me in this puzzle.

The arrows lead me around seemingly endlessly to the left and right. Need to do this logically. Picked the blue tomb under the leaf symbol on the left.

The door slams shut behind you and water begins to pour from hidden alcoves! It
looks like you're going to have to spend some time bailing your way out of
here...

And left again . . .

The door slams shut behind you and poison gas begins to fill the room! You try
to escape, but after a few moments you find yourself... falling...
unconscious... maybe... you should... take... a nap...

New territory! So we take the coffee cup/pentagon on the left:

The door slams shut behind you and the walls begin to move toward you! It's
going to take all your strength to hold them off until the mechanism is
disabled...

And what does the oval reveal?

The door slams shut behind you and you hear a shuffling noise. Out of the dark
comes an enormous blob of jelly! It looks like it's devoured greater adventurers
than you. You hope you can keep out of its grasp until you figure a way out of
here..

Aargh! Okay, I'll take number two again, and hit that green triangle.

The door slams shut behind you and you see a riddle inscribed on the opposite
wall. It's very intriguing. You decide to spend a while trying to figure it
out...
At least it's not a trap . . . right?
