This walkthrough is intended to describe the Obelisk of Khamoon clearly enough for you to follow it. It relies heavily on the compass. Please write me if you find a passage obscure. (In the walkthrough, not in Khamoon.)
This walkthrough describes the Saturn version of Tomb Raider. If you know of discrepancies in the PlayStation version, please let me know.

and a Sapphire Key in holes under the walk. Save (&) and swim back

in the Lock to open the door to its right and the high door in the
Four Passages Room.

At the bottom of the water lies a set of Magnum Clips. In the center
of the room is an island with a tall Obelisk and Shotgun Shells. High
bridges run north, east, south, and west from the Obelisk to the sides
of the room. Each bridge leads to an artifact lying against the
Obelisk. All four bridges have raised segments. To reach each
artifact you must throw a switch somewhere to lower the segment on
the bridge that leads to the artifact.
In the north face of the obelisk, under water, is an opening blocked by a door.

Kill the panther mummy. Throw the switch (S) to lower the bridge
and get the Eye of Horus (*). (You can save a little time by
waiting till you have lowered all four bridges, then collecting
all four artifacts by jumping from one bridge to another.)

Climb to the top step on the east wall. Climb or jump three times to
reach higher platforms. Do a running jump to the platform in the center
of the room, jump to the west ledge, and get the Large Medipack. A hole
under the arch leads to a slide into a separate room to the west. Don't
bother with it unless you're interested in sightseeing; it has no prizes
and no hazards.
Climb onto the arch, go to the southwest corner, and do a running jump-and-grab to the ledge on the south wall. Climb onto the block and jump up to the platform to the north. Do a running jump to the next platform, and a running jump-and-grab to the next. Save your game (&).
You see a broad flight of steps arising from the west wall, and beyond it three pillars on top of a wall. Jump to the descending steps beneath the broad flight of steps on the west wall. A panther mummy awaits on the broad steps, so climb up just long enough to lure it, then drop to the steps below and kill it with pot shots.
Climb up onto the foot of the broad steps. Cross them and throw the switch (S) to lower the bridge to the Ankh. Hang and drop south to a fenced balcony and get a Small Medipack, Magnum Clips, and Magnums or Magnum Clips. Climb back up to the west and climb the broad steps to another room. You see a closed door (\) in the south wall and a hole in the floor. To the east are unprotected drops, one to the fenced balcony and one into the Great Obelisk Room.

Go into the corridor and get the Magnum Clips. Throw the switch in the
right alcove to transform the slide to a stair. Climb the stair
halfway and jump to a platform with Shotgun Shells (*). Return to the
stair, climb two more steps, jump off, save your game (&), and exit
east to a ledge on the west wall of the Great Obelisk Room. Jump north
to the northwest corner, go east to the bridge, and get the Ankh (*).
Go back to the west room and climb the stair. Do a running jump-and-grab to the north wall to hang from the crack. Sidle eastward till you can drop safely to the gold blocks. Drop on the north side. Enter the chamber to the north and throw the switch to transform the third slide to a stair. Climb the stair to a high room. Do not climb into the high room yet; first kill the panther mummy with jump shots. Now climb up and throw the two switches. One lowers the bridge to the Seal of Anubis; the other opens a door leading back to the room with the hole in the floor. Get the Small Medipack behind the sun disk, then go through the door.
Descend the broad steps, go south to the pillars, and walk to the east end. A spur leads toward the Great Obelisk. Do a running jump from the spur to the top of the Great Obelisk and pick up the Uzi Clips + Small Medipack (SECRET 1). Do another running jump south and eastward to the ledge with the Sun Disk, taking some damage. Pick up 2 sets of Uzi Clips + Large Medipack (SECRET 2). Drop off the ledge to the west and run along the balcony to the switch. Climb up to it, descend the steps, and cross the bridge to get the Seal of Anubis.

For now, go east, hang, and work your way south. Climb up in the
middle of the east wall, climb to the platform with the pillar, and
enter the passage to the east for a Large Medipack and Magnum Clips
(SECRET 3).

Tunnels
Continue through the passage and emerge at the south end of the
platform, do a running jump to the ledge on the south wall, and drop
between it and the next ledge. (Or return to where you climbed up to
the platform with the pillar, drop, and walk under the platform and
into short tunnel in the wall.) Drop to the step to the east, hang on
its north side, and swing west. When you reach the southwest corner,
drop, then hang from the west wall and swing northward. When you
reach the northwest corner, drop to the ledge. Do a running jump-and-grab
to the block on the west wall with the save icon. Save
your game, go north into the Obelisk Room, and throw the switch to
lower the bridge to the Scarab.
Go back into the South Room. Hang and drop to the floor, or do a running jump back to the northwest ledge and then drop to the floor. Climb the steps on the east wall up to the entrance, cross the bridge and get the Scarab.
The room contains a panther mummy, so try to climb out of the pool opposite it. Kill it, climb the stair behind the Save Icon to get 2 sets of Magnum Clips, and save your game.
Dive back into the pool and go swim through the passage for the Small Medipack and Shotgun Shells in the second pair of alcoves, then back to the pool. Climb up at the west end of the south wall, and follow the corridor to a low room with another panther mummy.

Kill the mummy from above, then jump down and get the Large Medipack on
the east side of the mound. Climb the mound and leave southward.
Descend the new steps into the room with the Small Obelisk that you
passed through in stage 10. Insert the four artifacts in the receptacles
on the sides of the obelisk to open the exit to the Sanctuary.
Stop at the inner door in the Sphinx Statue to pick up Shotgun Shells,
then use the exit.
