THE TIMES EXCLUSIVE TOMB RAIDER LEVEL
When this stand-alone level was released, it was distributed on The Times of London\'s web site. I believe it was a tie-in with the centennial of the discovery of King Tut\'s tomb. The feature included some real-life background info and a Tomb Raider short story, as well as the download. The Times has since closed these pages, but the level is still available from various servers. See my page http://tombraiders.net/stella/downloads.html for links.
Cut scene: Lara enters the offices of Peter Stothard, former Times Editor-in-Chief. A newspaper spread across his desk reads, \"The Tomb of the King Contract Given to \'The Times\'.\" (Thanks to Mike T. for identifying Mr. Stothard. This Yank was at a loss.)
A transcript of their dialogue appears at the bottom of the page. The upshot is that the paper\'s Egyptian correspondent has found new tunnels, presumably leading to an undiscovered tomb near that of Tutankhamun. Stothard talks Lara into taking a look. But first he points her to the Times\' archives. There she\'ll be able to go over the reports made by Howard Carter, who discovered and excavated King Tut\'s tomb in the \'20s.
Lara goes down the hall to the newspaper\'s morgue. The camera dollies past shelves of archived papers and we see Lara poring over a volume of bound back issues. When she\'s read enough, she comments, \"Time to finish what Carter started.\"
Another cut scene: The camera pans a room with a large statue holding a lit burner. Then we see Lara sliding down a ramp into the tomb.
Starting Inventory: Pistols (unlimited ammo), binoculars, 3 flares, 2 small medipaks, 1 large medipak
ROOM WITH RAMPS AND TWO BIG STATUES: From the starting position, turn around so the statues are behind Lara. Light a flare and go into the opening in the left corner (shown in this screenshot). At the end of the passage, where the ceiling is higher, turn around, position Lara facing the opening leading back to the statue room, and jump straight up to grab the ledge above. Pull up. Crawl through the low opening. Then climb up several stepped blocks toward the base of the right-hand ramp. (See this screenshot if necessary to get oriented. The room with the big statues is below, and you can see light coming in at the top of the ramp.) Climb onto the base of the ramp and enter the alcove on the right. This is secret #1. On the floor is the SHOTGUN plus a box of wideshot shells. Climb back down the blocks to the corner. Then slide the rest of the way back to the starting point.
LONG ROOM WITH MANY DECORATIVE COLUMNS: Head down the ramp between the two statues. As you walk between the columns, 2 red scorpions emerge, then 2 more as you near the exit. These guys aren\'t poisonous, but they will sting Lara if she doesn\'t kill them.
At the end of this hall, go into the next room, drop into the shallow pit and pick up a small medipak and flares. Climb out of the pit and continue through the door between the statues.
STAIRWAY WITH SIX JACKAL STATUES: Slide down the ramp on either side of the stairs. A spiked ball drops from the ceiling and rolls down the stairs into the next room. Had Lara been standing under it, she\'d be impaled. In the corner of each ledge farthest from the entrance (i.e., at the end of each row of jackal statues) are wideshot shells or Uzi clips. Stand on either ramp near the bottom and jump up to grab the ledge above. Pull up and get the item. Do the same on the other side. Drop down and continue into the next room (where the spiked ball went). Notice the odd-looking square of floor here, then continue to the right and up the stairs.
FIRST TREASURE ROOM: At the top of the stairs, climb over the wall and explore each of the areas flanking the stairs. Here you\'ll find a large medipak, wideshot shells, a small medipak and normal arrows.
Climb onto either wall next to the stairs and use pistols to shoot the lions\' heads mounted on the walls. When both heads shatter, a trapdoor opens in the floor to the left of the big golden statue (indicated in this screenshot). Drop into this opening and follow the passage to the end. Climb onto the ledge, then up the ladder. At the top you\'ll find secret #2, a small room containing a CROSSBOW (loaded) plus a quiver of 10 poisoned arrows. Return to the treasure room the way you came.
To the left of the stairs (when facing downstairs) is a golden vase. Slide it along the floor until it is over the colored cartouche.
(NOTE FOR NEWBIES: To do this, position Lara facing the vase and close to it, with the wall on her left. Press and hold Action and she\'ll grab the edge of the vase and go into a crouch showing she\'s ready. Press and hold the down arrow, while still holding Action, and she\'ll move the vase.)
Cut scene: A block rises from the floor in the room below, and the 2 jackal statues come alive.
As soon as the cut scene ends, get ready to kill those 2 jackals. If you like, you can jump out of the corner to get more space—or even climb up onto the wall to safety. Run down the stairs and jump/climb onto the newly raised block. There are 3 more jackals here, but they can\'t reach Lara on the block. Shoot them with pistols or just go on.
Take a standing jump from the top of the block to grab the edge of the small opening high on the wall. Press crouch + up to crawl in. Crawl through until Lara can stand. Light a flare if you like, then continue down the hall past two alcoves containing sleeping mummies. As you round the next bend these mummies, along with a third mummy farther ahead, come alive. You can\'t kill them with the weapons you have, so just run toward the light at the end of the hall. Once you reach the next area, they won\'t follow.
POOL: Now you\'ve got a new problem: the 4 crocodiles in the pool. Kill them. Then shoot the vase on the right (when facing the pool). Inside you\'ll find the loaded REVOLVER.
Swim down underneath the painted wall where the boat is floating. On the underside of the ledge is a switch. (The spot is marked in this screenshot.) Position Lara below it and press Action to pull it. This opens a gate at the opposite end of the pool. Swim across, climb out of the water, jump to grab the edge of the opening with the newly opened gate and pull up. Follow the hall down to the next room.
TWO-LEVEL ROOM WITH MANY JARS: The ceramic jars will break if you shoot them. (Use pistols, which have unlimited ammo.) Some contain goodies; some contain nasty biting beetles. You can avoid breaking the ones with beetles, or break them then run back to the foot of the stairs where there\'s a grate on the floor. If you position Lara on the grate, the beetles will follow her and fall through the holes.
The jars on the lower level, clockwise from the door, contain: (1) empty, (2)revolver ammo, (3) beetles, (4) LASER SIGHT, (5) empty, (6) beetles.
When you pull up onto the upper level, be sure to avoid the burning lamps or Lara will catch fire. One of the jars up here is empty. The others contain revolver ammo and a small medipak. When you\'ve got everything drop down carefully and find the gold vase in the corner. Slide it out of the way and go up the stairs behind it.
On the landing, shoot the first two vases to get revolver ammo and flares. Avoid the third if you want to, since it only contains a scorpion. Continue down the other set of stairs.
ROOM WITH PIT, MUMMIES AND LIONS\' HEADS: You\'ll need to shoot one or both of those lion\'s head statues high on the wall to fill the pit with sand so you can cross. To do this, press Escape go to inventory and choose either the revolver or crossbow. Select \'Combine\' and use left/right to select the laser sight. Press Enter to combine the weapon and sight. Select \'Equip\' and press Enter again. To target, press the Look button and use the Crouch and Flare keys (< and >) to zoom in and out. When you hit your target and the pit begins to fill with sand, the mummies on the other side awaken. Run past them up the stairs.
Run up the right side of the stairs, then veer to the left to avoid the spiked ball that comes rolling down the stairs. After it passes, continue upstairs, ducking into the alcove on the left to avoid another spiked ball. Continue to the room at the top. The gate closes behind you, so the mummies can\'t follow.
MASK ROOM AND BEETLE ROOM: Take THE GOLD MASK from the pedestal at the top of the stairs. The gate on the right opens. Enter and run up the stairs. A swarm of beetles attacks, so head for one of the alcoves on each side of the room. Stand on the grate and the beetles will follow and fall through the holes. You may have to run out then back to the grate to get all of them into the pit.
When the coast is clear, find the trapdoor in the ceiling near the end of the room farthest from the stairs. Position Lara under the handle facing the side wall so the stairs are off to her left. Jump straight up and press Action to grab the handle and pull the trapdoor open (as shown in this screenshot). Now position Lara under the opening and jump straight up to grab the edge. Pull up through the opening. Follow the stairs up toward the light to finish the level.

Dialogue from cut scene at the beginning of the level:
Lara (reading newspaper): \"The initial discovery of Tutankhamun\'s tomb...\" and...?
Editor: This is Howard Carter\'s original exclusive. Yesterday morning from our Egyptian correspondent we received this.
He indicates a second newspaper.
Lara: I see. I\'ve stayed in bed for less.
Editor: Our man stumbled across this new dig site. After we received the information, news reached us that he\'d been found, fever ridden and hiding nearby, ranting about the new tomb.
Lara: Now you\'re getting interesting. Whose tomb?
Editor: Well, this is why we\'ve called you.
Lara: I\'ll see you around.
Editor: Wait! You\'ll get nowhere without Carter\'s original information. He was the first to discover Tutankhamun\'s tomb and reported exclusively to us. His original chamber layouts and notes lie in the relevant issues in our archive room. Invaluable to the tomb raider.
Lara: Quite. And where are these archives? (From here, Lara goes to the archives to do her research.)
PS：图坦卡门墓是埃及的国王谷中一个年轻的国王图坦卡门的墓地。图坦卡门十八岁就死了，当然是个相当年轻的国王了^_^（废话），也当然是鲜有功绩和名望的（也是废话）。他的墓之所以那么出名，主要是二十世纪初的时候，霍华德-卡特和XXX（忘了）意外发现了这个墓，墓中随葬品及其精致和丰富，价值连城（例如很有名的图坦卡门的黄金面具）。国王谷中的法老墓地往往被古代盗墓贼洗劫一空，图坦卡门墓中的藏品那么丰富，可能是由于图坦卡门自己名气太小了，盗墓贼都没有留意过他......
当年主持发掘图坦卡门墓的两个英国人（就是那个霍华德-卡特和那个XXX），卡特是留在埃及负责挖掘的执行者，真正的出资人和老板是XXX。发现图坦卡门墓的时候XXX在英国，卡特特意打了电报把他叫回来一起挖墓。在发掘中他们发现一段铭文：死亡之翼将触及那些胆敢骚扰我睡眠的人。这两个英国人怕工程受到影响，向雇员隐瞒了这件事情。后来（几年后吧）XXX患病，高烧不退，所有的医生都束手无策。XXX临死前说了一句话：法老在召唤我。当时参与挖掘的工人几年中也大多神秘死亡。这就是著名的"法老的诅咒"。但是卡特一直没事，也一直在挖墓，他对诅咒免疫～～（现代通常认为这些怪病是由于墓室里面的毒气引起的，抵抗力强的人就没事！）
第二段的故事，最初看的还是法语版的:S
Our man stumbled across this new dig site. After we received the information, news reached us that he\'d been found, fever ridden and hiding nearby, ranting about the new tomb.
嗯......从上下文来看，he指的应该是前面那句话中的"our man"，是发现新古迹的报社雇员。在报社得到消息后，又传言说发现这个人\"fever ridden\"，隐藏在附近，ranting about（这个词组什么意思？不知道～～）新的墓穴。

引用下面引用由rainbow在 2006-01-13 22:32 发表的内容：ranting about的意思就是指代、所指、所说的意思吧~~这个意思好像安不上去呀......
引用 她在看着老编桌面上的报纸。好像是关于一个法老王的古墓的新闻。"关于图坦卡蒙（Tutankhamun）古墓的最新发现..."Lara读着报纸。老编指着报纸上的一段："是一个车夫发现的，消息是由我们的驻埃及记者报道的。"Lara读着报纸，并不感兴趣："我想我应该回去多睡一会儿。有个人...他说睡觉是人生一大享受。"
老编忙道："我们的人在挖掘现场遇到了麻烦，在我们得到这个消息后，那些人开始发狂，他们咆哮着，提到一个新的古墓。"Lara笑道："事情现在变得有趣了，那是谁的墓？"老编回答："我们找你来就是为了这个。"Lara转身就走："回头见。"老编忙叫住她："等一下！你这样子去不会有什么收获的。你应该先看一下那个车夫提供的信息，包括他的笔记和他绘制的图纸，放在我们的档案室里。那对一个探墓者是非常有用的。"Lara微微一笑："好吧，档案室..."
