This is the sarcophagus that's pointed out to you as part of the in-game tutorial. Run up a wall and jump to reach the beam, then leap to the climbing stones and wall-run up to the sarcophagus's ledge.

In the Fortress Courtyard, the second sarcophagus is on a ledge directly below the first wall switch. It's difficult but not impossible to miss.

When you reach the spike-trapped floors in the Fortress Courtyard, the Prince will mention that there aren't any statues in the courtyard. This is your cue to pay attention to the ledges below you, where you'll notice a sarcophagus. Run through the gauntlet of spike traps, then drop down and cling to the ledge with the circle/B button. Shimmy along the edge until you reach a ledge you can drop down to, then run along the wall to the right, moving from ledge to ledge, until you can climb to the area where the sarcophagus is kept.

Once you manage to make it through the Prison, there's a sequence where you have to activate a floor switch, then run past some arrow and spike traps to get under a gate before it closes. Having done so, there's a wall on the right just past the gate that you can climb, allowing you to do some simple platforming and reach the sarcophagus. Use the banner underneath it to drop down, and you'll be back at the switch.

Near the beginning of the Sewer, after you escape the first room, look above you as you leap onto the horizontal beam. There's a second beam overhead that you can barely see under ordinary circumstances. Climb all the way up the next column, then make a blind jump towards the screen. The Prince will land on the higher beam, and the camera will swing around to face this well-hidden sarcophagus.

Right before you leave the Sewer, turn left to find the sarcophagus across a lengthy gap, with two water jets in the way. The trick is that they turn off and on at irregular intervals, so you need to use very careful timing. Freeze the first one, then leap and deactivate the Flow in midair, allowing the jet to appear right in time for you to grab it.

After you avoid Ratash's first attack in the Royal Chambers and run back inside, you get ambushed by a small legion of sand creatures in a bedroom. Deal with them, then hit the two wall switches in the back of the room by climbing up the water column. When both are pushed, it opens a secret door.

After your second run-in with Ratash in the Royal Chambers, you're asked to climb two parallel waterfalls, using a pair of water jets between them to gain extra height. Swing off the top water jet and deactivate the Flow in mid-air, passing through the right waterfall and landing on a hidden ledge with the sarcophagus.

Instead of running through the spokes of the water wheel at the end of the Royal Chambers, climb up the wall to the climbing stones, which you should be barely able to see above you. From there, you can leap to a flagpole and swing to the ledge where this sarcophagus is hidden.

Right as you enter the Throne Room, turn left and climb the stones to the left of the door. Wall-run left at the top of the wall and make a blind jump to a couple of water jets you can't see, swinging off of them to reach the hidden sarcophagus.

After sliding down the long vertical shaft in the Terrace, using the banners and flagpoles, you'll propel yourself via Flight over to a ledge with a few enemies. Dispatch them, then climb the ledges to the right of the door.

In the Rooftop Gardens, when you reach the area where you saw Malik fighting, check behind the tree.

After the big fight scene in the Rooftop Gardens, leap to the ledge underneath the nearby waterfall and climb up. The waterfall is hiding a secret area, where you can climb up a wall to reach this sarcophagus.

After the big fight scene near the end of the Aqueducts, instead of using the vultures to leave the area, drop down off the edge. You can safely drop down to a hidden balcony, where you'll find a sarcophagus in an alcove.

In the statue room in the Ruins of Rekem, just before you have the chance to escape, you'll find yourself standing on a balance beam with recallable platforms to your left and right. The right path leads to the exit; the left leads to a short corridor full of swinging axes, with this sarcophagus at its end.

Right after you find the last sarcophagus, look for this one behind a waterfall right before you go through the next gate.

You pretty much trip over this sarcophagus while you're trying to unlock the secret passage in the throne room of Rekem.

In the Reservoir, after defeating the Titan near the beginning of the area, jump through the waterfall to the left of the recallable area. Roll through the gap in the wall to find this sarcophagus.

There's a lion-headed statue in the Rekem Reservoir, which Razia is standing in front of when she activates all of the waterspouts in the area. When you reach that statue, drop down off the edge of the platform next to it and shimmy right until you find some rocks you can climb down. Slide down them, then wall-run left onto the ledge and follow it around until you find this sarcophagus.

This sarcophagus is in plain sight behind a closed door in Solomon's Hall. Reaching it is the trick. Run up the wall and hit the switch to the right of the gate, activating the water jets, and jump off the switch to grab the jet. Swing on both jets to the wall and run up it to the ledge, then shimmy all the way to the right of the ledge and wall-run to the switch above the entry door. Leap off the switch and run like hell to the gate before it closes to claim this sarcophagus.

You'll notice this sarcophagus in the background as you're getting close to the top of the King's Tower, while you're leaping from vulture to vulture. When you reach the end of the second vulture sequence, jump to the recalled ledge and stay there. Instead of climbing the wall to your left, go fly over to the vulture in the background and kill some more birds to propel yourself around to the sarcophagus's resting place.
