After inspecting the sundial graph on the wall within, he understood it as the solution to a puzzle involving the sundial outside and found that he could activate the requisite columns by releasing [[arrow]]s upon the crystals at the appropriate hours.

As he examined the front face of the cell's splendorous wall with his hand, the energy responded to his touch, and the walls shattered like glass.

			[[File:ACO A Gift from the Gods 10.jpg\|thumb\|250px\|right\|Bayek discovers the imprisoned man.]]
			At the heart of the Meidum Pyramid, there lay a chamber with a four-sided energy cage whose glass-like walls radiated with shimmering golden light when active. For an unknown period of time, the man was held in suspended animation within this prison. The chamber itself was sealed behind a wall which depicted a sundial pointing to the hours of 06:00, 09:00, and 12:00 simultaneously. This illustration actually modelled the grand sundial situated just outside the pyramid whose {{wiki\|gnomon}} was an [[obelisk]] and whose hourlines were grooves on the ground running to columns of [[Isu]]-like construction. When struck by the [[Sun]]'s rays, each of the columns opened to reveal mechanisms powered by an exposed blue crystal. To unlock the prison chamber, the columns corresponding to the hours of 06:00, 09:00, and 12:00 had to be activated, whereupon intense beams of blue energy would shoot up into the sky.<ref name="A Gift from the Gods">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – [[A Gift from the Gods]]</ref>
