7000 years ago, the
Sumerian civilization, from Mesopotamia, invented religions, laws and
scripture. Its language remained undecipherable for thousands of years,
and nowadays very few people are skilled to read it. Nobody knows why
this civilization disappeared, but its heritage is tremendously
important...
In 1995, the archeologist
John Berjerack found a mysterious tablet on the land which was once the
Sumerian kingdom. He studied it during 6 months until he inexplicably
went missing.
The tablet was preserved in a museum until a mysterious tomb raider
named Pierre Dupont stole it.
A person working for a
powerful organization, Metalium Corp., meets Evan Caillère, an expert
in Sumerian myths. Looking at some photographs of the tablet, Evan
Caillère confirms the result of Berjerack’s researches: it contains an
old Sumerian language. Then Evan Caillère is asked to decipher the
tablet as fast as he can. Answering to his visitor, Caillère says he
knows someone experienced enough to chase Pierre Dupont… her name is
Lara Croft.
Spelling out the tablet,
Evan reads: “The Stele Stone is the origin for their absolute power,
our city is just a haven, a base for a great journey”.
Lara Croft agrees to catch
Pierre Dupont and to retrieve the tablet. With the help of Evan
Caillère, she goes to Mesopotamia. It seems that Lara’s rival wants the
stele stone relic. Why ? What for ? What are the relic powers ?
Lara will chase him from a
lost jungle, location which has no reason to be, to ancient town ruins,
where she will discover all the truth about the stele stone… And fight
again with her best rival, Pierre Dupont…
