Default Tomb raider Timeline ?

Hello,
I'm wondering, what games come before !

As we all know TRLR/TRAOD are together
TRL and TRU also !

But TRL and TRU are before or after TRII - TRIII ??

Before playing to TRU, i thought that the timeline was this one :

TR1(A) - TR2 - TR3 - TRL - TR4 - TRAOD

but now i'm thinking more about that :

TR1(A) - TRL - TRU - TR2 - TR3 - TR4 - TRAOD.

Because the end of TRU can justifie the way of lara is acting in all the other TR

That one is about right

Interesting Theory, I hope this isn't the case though.

tomb raider 2-6 were erased from the history i though?
they are there own games, where as Legend/Underworld are their own time line

so it goes like this

First Coninuation - TR1-2-3-TLR-Chron-AOD

Second Continuation - TRA-Legend-Underworld

but they don't intertwine unless CD brings back more old stories.

I think they're supposed to be completely different too because at the beginning of TR2 she says 'after that grueling business last year (meaning TR1), I decided to build this assault course' so TR1, TRL & TRU can't have all happened in the space of a year before TR2

I like this theory and I think it justifies her behavior in all the other games, but i think the timeline is TR1(A)-TR4, AOD, L, U, and idk where Chronicles would fit in

I think it is like this because of the year/dating system. TR1 happened in 1996 when it was released, and TRA also says 1996 in the first cutscene. Then perhaps Lara thought Natla was gone forever so she continued on with the rest of the adventures, and in 2006 Anaya called her up, Lara dove into her past, found Natla again (in TRU), and the adventure continued. TRA was more like one giant flashback 'movie'-type of game, basically adding to the TRL/TRU storyline. I hope you can understand what I'm talking about I'm really tired right now

1.- nepal plane crash (TRL)

2.- queen tiwanakus tomb catastrophe (TRL)

3.- black island, ireland (TRC) cambodia (TR4)

4.-
mercury stone (TRC)

5.- TRA

6.- TRL

7.- TRU

8.- TR2, TR3, TR4, TRAOD. and TRC in an unknown order.

the rest of cores games has already been mentioned in TRA, so its morelikely an indirect way to recognize their importance, and therefore the chances on getting to them. lara is more bitter, theres no zip and alister, and winstons is obviously older.

in TRC high tech tower features zip. so its highly possible that afterTRU they kept in touch and work everynow and then in different missions.

I think the first 5 games + TRA are set in the order they were launched, like this:
  • TR1/TRA - 1996
  • TR2 - 1997
  • TR3 - 1998
  • TR4 - 1999
  • TRC (manor events) - 1999 (after lara's "death")

but after that i can't decide wich order was:
  • TRL - 2006
  • TRU - 2006
  • TRAOD - 2007/2008

or
  • TRAOD - 2003
  • TRL - 2006
  • TRU - 2006

TRL and TRU and set to be 10 years after TR1/TRA, so they have to be in 2006, but, if the manor was supose to have exploded before AOD, but in that case, why took werner so long to recontact lara?
