View Full Version : So in Atlantis is the entire place a living organism?

When you're in the Atlantis levels where you're fighting the genetically engineered super human without half of his body and those bat-like creatures, I noticed that the walls look like their moving with red vains or some other moving ****. Is the place where you're at a living thing? or life organisms living on the walls.

Eros have you[sees Lara]...fixed that rail yet? - Marco Bartoli
Ive never been to sure about that. When I was a kid i just thought I was missing the main picture of where lara was lol
Some of the walls and floors are alive! Not really sure at all why that is though...
I think some of the areas are alive, but not on a conscious level. I think the sole purpose for the skin, veins, and blood growing on the walls is to nest and manifest Natla's Atlantean army.
I think the pyramid is alive but not at a conscious level its more like a womb designed to breed all types of animals and the scion is like its Brain/Remote control.
The Scion Writes the DNA of the creature into a gamete cell , and this is pumped around the blood vessels to all those little hatching sites. From there, its divides and is nurtures to birth (ie hatching as a freaky monster). I think Lara contact with the Scion cause it to absorb some of her DNA accidentally creating Bacon Lara!!

Wow!! How do you know that?? Was it ever said or is that just a theory?
I agree that it is only living on an unconscious level btw

It may be just a theory I have, but I think it makes alot of sense!
Ah, your from Ireland too, cool!

It really does ;)
I am, yes :D
thats intereting! It would be a very new thing to turn out that the pyramis is alive!

What does ie stand for? I forget, that is a very good theory makes total sense.
Looks like it... It has sense because of the hearth beating fleshy walls.:p

ie is shorthand for example, same as eg!

i.e. is short for the Latin "id est", which means "that is".
I think it is a very good theory as well :).

i can pretty much agree with the theory of the pyramid being a womb...but i always imagined/theorized the moving walls to be more of a heart, kind of like a metaphorical "heart of evil" if you will.
but thats just me.

Oh, it still would have a heart, or even many hearts. It may be like a Womb, but it needs organs to keep its offspring Alive and nurture them such as Heart, Lungs, Liver, Veins, Arteries, Nerves etc etc. The walls are moving because they have a pulse, blood is being pumped through them.
In a womans's womb, the inside is lined with thousands of blood vessels so that when she becomes pregnant, a little Embryo will attach itself to the walls of the Uterus, creating a placental connection to the Woman's blood supply. All the babies nourishment and life comes through the Woman's blood.
I think thats alot like what happens in the Great Pyramid. Those two little Tubes on th Wall beside each egg are like Placentas.
The pyramid is alive, but it can't think for its self, the Scion acts like the Brain/CPU/Remote Control.
ie is shorthand for example, same as eg!
The way I understand it, i.e. is used when providing an alternate description/explanation for a word or phrase ("in other words, ..."), and e.g. is used when providing an incomplete list of examples ("for example, ..."), so they're not exactly the same. Sorry if I'm being anal about grammar. :)
Staying on topic, I like the idea of the Great Pyramid being a womb of sorts. It makes sense with all the birthing pods spread about the place. I'd say that parts of it are definitely alive, though probably in more of an "organic" and less of a "conscious" sense.
Remember that one chamber where the boulder rolls down the hill blocking the exit, and you have to block the boulder by pushing a heavy block in its path? There are two paths coming off that room, besides the exit, and each one has a door that only opens when you're coming from a specific direction, meaning that there's an "in" passage, and an "out" passage. That part totally makes me feel like I'm in a heart, following the bloodstream.

wow, thats a very in depth explanation! :tmb:
however, i've come to realize that the womb is more insectlike (or arachnidlike, depending on how specific you'd prefer me to be:D), instead of human. instead of producing one, enormous baby, it is producing a massive amount of smaller organisms, much like a spider or scorpion does.

Absolutely, Whilst its like a womb in one way, in that it produces Creatures with Endoskeletons, is made of Red Meat etc etc, Its also reminiscent of Insects. The Pyramid is like a Hive, it mass-produces these monsters. They come from Insect-like Eggs.
Even in Unfinished Buisness, one of the Levels is called The Hive!
Where all that Bio-Mass (Bone, Muscle, Meat, Blood Vessels) inside the pyramid came from, I don't know!
It however does remind me off how the Aztecs were supposed to sacrifice humans at the top of their pyramids, in return for favours from the Gods (Like Fertile Land, Good Harvest etc etc!) Maybe the Atlanteans have a bloody secret?
Enormus baby. Wow. I fear how big the great pyramids baby would be. Saying that makes me think of the torso monster. But then again I imagine it would be much larger.

it seems we have come to an agreeance on the subject of Atlantean hives... *shakes hands with colleague*-good work, mate.
now onto the subject of where all the tissue comes from!
through all my extensive theorizing (which normally occurs when i get scared out of my wits and pause the game, ie..."say, what does that mysterious icon represent?...oh wait, i've got a mummy to kill!") i always imagined that the tissue was built up through meiosis, or cell division if you will, almost like what occurs in humans when a cell, composed of chromosomes (possibly taken from an atlantean mutant during experimentation?) multiply and creates cells, which divide and multiply, creating a body.
of course, thats just me and my fantasies.

Undoubtedly the hive grows through Cell Division, but Cells don't divide without a food, water and energy source. Animal and Humans are a potential foodsource, hence the sacrificing of both during ancient times. It would be like the Pyramid ate them, and reconstituted all their Bio-Material into its being and its Offspring!

I'm highly speculating again, but Maybe when the Scion was destroyed in TR1, the Pyramid starts to collapse because the actual creature/organism was dying as a result of the Scion shattering....

i agree with him
and not to be completely :off:, but i see that you're from ireland. i actually just moved from mooncoin, county kilkenny about a year ago. nice to see a fellow irishman!

Wow that theory makes a heck of a lot of sense!
Well, I did find Atlantis rather gory, creppy & disgusting, I was expecting it to look like greece!! :eek:
