Note on 18 November: I wrote this post when I first unlocked the Sanctuary and Revive Pyramid. Now I have almost all the Creatures and pop yet another poor unfortunate into the Boat that sets sail down the river as regular as clockwork, every 12 hours. As a new Creature was added to the list today in the form of the Jackal King, it is obvious to me that one needs to keep the Sacrifices flowing even if one has exhausted the current list of Revival possibilities. You never know when a new Creature will be offered!
Note on 5 January 2017: The Jackal King was a Seasonal Creature who no longer appears in the Revive List. A new Seasonal Creature in the form of the Vizier Reindeer has taken his place and no doubt will disappear soon from the list as well. Given the fact that Seasonal Creatures now appear to be a fairly regular addition to the Revive Pyramid, it becomes even more important to Sacrifice on a daily basis, even if you have revived all existing Creatures.
The Grey Tokens are the most difficult to obtain. No Winged Creature has a better than 20% chance of yielding one. For the Vizier Reindeer, one needs a total of 8 Grey Tokens. At the time of its release, I had only 6 in my possession. I had to sacrifice at least 20 more Winged Creatures to obtain the 2 Grey Tokens I lacked. Were it not for the fact that Diamonds were being offered at a sale price and I therefore was able to use speed-ups, I never would have achieved the goal in time.
I love this game but find this aspect of it rather gruesome. There is a fundamental ethical issue here: will I sacrifice living if virtual creatures in order to obtain rare ones??? I suppose I shall, but am a little ashamed of myself...

Evidently, Creatures in Inventory are not eligible for Sacrifice, nor are Creatures lower than Level 4. I do not see any point in using a high level creature. They are NOT worth more in Tokens, nor do the percentages change at all. Initially, I took a Level 1 Auneckhe from Inventory and swapped him with a high level one, leveled him up to Level 4 and then renamed him 'Victim' so that there would be no confusion when I took him to the Altar. Once in the Sanctuary, I chose the Victim and rather to my consternation, he was placed in a boat and sent down the river! Very, very graphic... had thought the sacrifice would be hidden and more painless.
Another surprise is that the sacrifice process will take 12 hours. I do not know if that is how long the journey itself will take towards whatever dark destination is his, or if that is a bureaucratic time period required to process the paperwork! Anyway, gone is he and I await the result.
You CAN use speed-ups on any Sacrifice as well as on the process of Revival once it has begun.
Note that I received only ONE Token for the sacrifice of my poor Creature. Initially, it was a long journey to the point where I could revive any one.
What I suspected was true: it is not enough to unlock the Sanctuary. One needs to build the Revive Pyramid should one ever wish to revive any Creature! The cost is not dear in terms of Stone: only 30,000 Stones to build it.
Once built, you will see a list of the Creatures that can be revived with their costs: I have to confess that I thought the amounts needed were outrageous until I realised I had misread them all grossly. I was misreading the slash (/) as a seven or one I think! Good thing no one really had used this guide yet. I was sending creatures randomly down the river, thinking that it would take YEARS no matter what to earn enough Tokens to revive any one. Now I shall attempt to sacrifice Creatures who will give the tokens I need. I have almost enough amazingly to revive my first Creature. Instead of 71 Blue Tokens, all I need is 1! (This was written a few months ago. I now have revived all existing Creatures, including the recent Seasonal ones).
Ammit: 2 Yellow Tokens, 1 Blue, 2 Red
Time to Revive: 12 hours
Renenutet: 4 Yellow Tokens, 3 Purple, 1 Green
Time to Revive: 1 Day
Behemoth: 5 Yellow, 1 Grey, 2 Blue, 3 Red
Time to Revive: 2 Days

Time to Revive: 3 Days
Shezmu: 3 Silver Grey, 5 Purple, 4 Green, 4 Blue, 5 Red
Time to Revive: 4 Days
Anibis: 5 Grey, 5 Purple, 6 Green, 4 Blue, 7 Red
Time to Revive: 4 Days
On 18 November, a new Seasonal Creature was added to the list:
Jackal King: 7 Grey, 7 Purple, 6 Green, 10 Blue, 5 Red
No longer active!
A new Seasonal Creature was added to the Revive Pyramid list for Christmas/New Year:
Vizier Reindeer: 8 Grey, 9 Purple, 7 Green, 8 Blue, 5 Red
Seasonal Revive Creatures

Initially, I did not realise that there were Seasonal Revive Creatures in the same fashion as the Seasonal Creatures in the Market or Mystic Pyramid. These are available only for a brief time during the Season to which they are attributed, so if you want one, make certain that you move quickly to Revive it. It is where Seasonal Creatures are concerned that the use of speed-ups can be critical.
For example, when the Vizier Reindeer was released, I had all the Tokens needed to Revive him with the exception of two missing Grey Tokens. If I had waited for the ordinary time period for Sacrifices, I never would have achieved the goal. After all, the chance of obtaining a Grey Token from ANY winged Creature is only 20%. I was obliged to Sacrifice at least 20 Winged Creatures before I obtained the 2 Grey Tokens that I lacked for the Vizier Reindeer.
N.B. In view of the appearance of these Seasonal Creatures periodically, I suggest that all players Sacrifice their Creatures on a regular Basis to amass Tokens, even if they have revived all existing Creatures...
The Tokens all are objects or symbols. The Grey is a wing, the Purple is a Dagger, the Green is the Eye of Horus, Blue is flowing Water and Red is an Ankh. I believe they are hieroglyphic letters actually. I recognise a couple of them. Have to look in one of my books on Ancient Egypt...
