Atlantis (Location)

Atlantis is an ancient mythological kingdom.

Original Timeline
Atlantis was ruled by the triumvirate. Atlantis was lost to the waves in a disaster and only the main fortress was left, which now is overgrown and resembles a mountainous island. The fortress itself has the power of creation, as stated by Qualopec during Natla's imprisonment, therefore the architectural style is reminiscent of an alive organism. The texture that were used from this location were taken from medical publications, a mix of bones, tissues and muscles images were used to give the location a gory look. When inside the pyramid, the first cutscene suggests that the energy to function was obtained directly from the Atlantean Scion. The pyramid was initially imagined to be a supercomputer and a remnant of that is the countdown on the hatching of the Giant Atlantean; this was also stated in interviews with the Core Design team, explaining that the idea got scrapped due to graphical limitations. A concept of the supercomputer can be seen in Atlantis from the leaked Tomb Raider: 10th Anniversary Edition.

Legend Timeline
Atlantis was under the dominion of the triumvirate of Atlantis, composed of the siblings Natla, Qualopec and Tihocan. The kingdom was declining when Natla got imprisoned. At the end of Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Natla affirmed that the pyramid found in the lost island was only one little piece of Atlantis, giving the hint that the pyramid was not the main fortress and many others are scattered around the sea. In the inside, the look greatly differs from what Core Design thought Atlantis to be, as this version is very influenced by Stargate and the gore elements are toned down to almost non-existent.
