Discretion is the better part of valour. You easily evade the lamplighter mummy and carry on down the corridor room, spending several minutes passing more and more of these tombs and side chambers until you reach a large stone door flanked by two lit fire-bowls. Nearby you can see a huge bronze bowl filled with thick black oil, and what appears to be a mechanical bronze hand pump leading into it. These tunnels must have been built over some sort of natural oil reservoir to keep the lamps lit.
The door itself is impressively carved in what is essentially a repeat of the earlier boastings of Prince Narsis but with more pictographs and added detail about various heroes during the Okesh genocide.

Looking at the construction of the door, it appears that it's supposed to turn on a hinge in the door's centre, although it is still a stone door and thus likely pretty hefty. Either side of the doorframe there are sculpted images of ziggurats and stone buildings rising out of swamp-like terrain not unlike that of your home, with stylised depictions of various ophidians at work, herding pigs and butchering some sort of bipedal race with the same glaive-like weapons the Prince's corpse was carrying.
A) Just give the door a big old push and hope you have enough strength to turn it.
B) Maybe search around for something that you help lever said door open?
C) Something else?
