You can't access this tomb the first time you pass it, since you won't have the CLIMBING AXES. Later, after Lara reunites with Jonah and heads for Kuwak Yaku, you will pass a side path that leads back to the starting area. This is described in the main walkthrough. You can also return later in the game by using any base camp to Fast Travel back to the Plane Wreckage Base Camp (shown in the screenshot above). From there, follow the path around to the northwest.
Climb onto the ledge with the yellow painted decorations.
Wade through a small pool. Then use your climbing axe to break down the crumbling wall and squeeze through the opening.
Either dive into the pool below or attempt to grapple-swing across the gap, grab a handhold on the other side, which then collapses, dropping Lara into the pool.
Gather a few plants on the bottom of the pool then swim/wade through the opening to the east.
On the far side of the pool, just to the right of the steps, is a mural (6/7), God of Death (Mam Dialect/Pantheon of Gods 3 Story).
In order to raise the statue in the doorway so Lara can get through, you'll need to lower the counterweight to the right of it.
Climb onto the ledge in the far right (southeast) corner, climb onto the ledge above, and jump from there to grab the horizontal bar above the counterweight.
Lara's added weight pulls the counterweight down, raising the statue. As long as you hang on, the weight will sink all the way down and snap into the clamp below. You can then let go and the statue will remain raised.
Go through to find the Jungle Cavern Base Camp. You probably won't need a rest so soon, but make sure you pass near enough to activate it so you can use it later for Fast Travel.
Continue across the rope bridge to the far side of the chasm.
Enter the ruined building ahead and swim through a short, flooded passageway into the room beyond.
Head up the slope to the left to find a container of random supplies. Then climb the wall to the left of it.
At the top is another mural (7/7), Judges' Gaze (Mam Dialect/Trials of the Gods Story).
NOTE: If you've been following this walkthrough, Lara's understanding of this dialect will now increase, enabling you to read Proficient Mam Monoliths, should you happen to come across any.
Continue to the main area, which Lara surmises was a court used for playing the ancient Mesoamerican ball game Pok A Tok.
