If you had built the map as you went, you would have been able
to deduce much more easily which piece corresponds to which
place.

You don't make it clear whether you successfully completed the

Once you have the map completely constructed, various sections
of it will be mouse sensitive.  If you click on such a spot,
you will get a puzzle.  All the clues for the puzzles are in
bold face in the journal, which you should definitely print
out.  (Anybody know how to get laser printer output?)

If you click on the piece of the map that looks like a scroll
(it has no path thru it) you will get the book of Thoth where
you can record your 14 answers.

If you still are stuck, write for more expliciti help.
