After looting the sarcophagus, in order to get back to the main area, start by jumping across the gap and returning to the edge of the large pit,

Grapple-swing across to the left section of the climbable wall on the far side of the pit.

Then climb down and to the right. Lean, then jump to the right to latch onto the next climbable area.

Jump up and latch onto the craggy wall above. Then continue climbing upward and to the left.

Climb up as far as you can. Then scramble up the stone wall, grab the ledge above, and pull up.

Scramble up onto the ledge ahead. (The slippery slope with the spiked walls is now below on your left.) Follow that ledge forward...

...but before continuing onward and upward, jump over to the top of the spiked wall on the left to get some gold ore.

Then return to the previous ledge and continue forward (north). Step out onto the jutting edge, jump toward the carved stone wall ahead, and quickly scramble up onto the next ledge.

Again, move out onto the stone that juts out over the slippery slope. Jump forward and grapple-swing across the gap into the passageway ahead.

From there, continue through the rooms where you found the mural and archivist map to the exit.

When you come to the ledge where you drop down into the shallow pit, you can go either way. If you didn't get the gold ore here earlier, head to the left.

You'll find a small pile on the ground near a skeleton. Now jump back into the pool and swim through the flooded tunnel to the northeast to get back to the village.
