let's call them door Freedom and door Death...
ask either of them: "which door will he (the other one) say is the door to freedom?"
The one that lies will lie about his friend's answer, and point to door DEATH.
and the one that tells the truth, will tell you the truth about his deceitful friend and equally point you to door DEATH.
so take the other door.

That's 2 questions.
The question you need to ask is: "what will the other sentinel say he guards - Freedom or death?" If he says "death", you go through the door guarded by the other sentinel. If he says "freedom", you go through the door guarded by the sentinel you asked.
there are no markings on the doors.
I could edit mine to say 'the left door' or 'the right door', and it'd work still. since that one question will give the same answer no matter which sentinel you ask.

So? I never assumed there were. If I were 13, I would be saying "lern 2 reed lol" right about now. 
*shrugs*
my mistake.

some (dare I say most?) of you seem to assume that the lying sentinel stands in front of the door to death, and that the truthful sentinel stands in front of the door that leads to freedom...
what if they're simply two doors... unmarked doors. what if they don't even stand in front of a door each? what if they're both standing to the side having a chat? or sitting on the floor in the middle of the room?
then asking one question to see which one is lying will get you nowhere.
you still don't know which door leads where.
