She destroyed the Prophet's Tomb because it suited her needs

Edit: I should also add there wasn't just one religious prophet in history either same as there wasn't just one emperor, or king or queen.

I think people were trying to say that the in-game mentioned prophet turned out to be real - the propet Lara was looking for was Jacob.

I don't think so because what I'd said was : "Anyway the prophet is a made up person for the game, not a real religious figure." Which isn't denying that in the game the person is real. Jacob is a real person in the game, but is made up for the game and isn't a real religious figure in real life

Erm... spoilers below, just don't read it

Ah, communicating in a forum can be difficult sometimes

I think I got what you were trying to express: the Prophet described in the game itself isn't based on any real prophetic figure of our real world mythology and history (there is CD's inspiration, Koschéi the Deathless, but it doesn't matter), but some misunderstood your statement and thought that you were referring to the in-game Prophet not being real, which is false, because the figure mentioned exists in the game world and it's Jacob.

I hope I understood it now

Was she wearing a bikini while doing it though?

My problem with the comics is they contradic what Lara is like in the games. The comics are suppose to be a continuation from the games, mini adventures. Yet she looks so fierce and daring, yet the Lara we get in the games ain't like that. Yeah, she had the confidence and will but she still acts scared in some scenes. An I'm yet to see Lara standing in a cocky way with a fierce look on her face like we see in renders/comics.

^Spot on. I suppose the writers of the comics have more creative freedom since the stories in them aren't aimed at a very broad audience. They're little adventures, like you said, but not to be taken seriously and are probably not extremely canon.

This place may have been sacred once but it isn't anymore. So if Lara is too exposed, I doubt that matters. She also visits a cathedral later on in the game, which is a church basically. And people are required to dress modestly to church too but Lara still goes there wearing whatever she wants.

Not sure if a ROTTR being banned in Saudi Arabia is true or not but some has said they still see the game being sold in stores or they but it by other means. I think it's a bit silly to ban a video game though lol.

I don't understand how some are saying "she can destroy it if she wanted" even though no one mentioned destroying prophet tombs, but I guess she did it? So I just read a spoiler? But anyway, Lara wouldn't do this.

Maybe if her whining was censored and she wore a decent hijab/dress and covered herself and her face by putting burqa then it won't be banned. And apparently it was banned in KSA because of the prophet's tomb or the porn-ish / +18 content.
