In Beijing, archaeologists had found a secretly buried temple beneath the Forbidden City, the ancient Chinese emperors' palace. Meanwhile the archaeologists realised that there was a valuable artefact - the Amulet of Horus - which was used to be an Egyptian artefact. An archaeologist had hidden and survived, calling upon Lara to prevent the Egyptian leader's arrival, who would have held the ceremony of reviving the unknown power of the Amulet which would probably have destroyed the world. The archaeologist also called her to take the Amulet away from the well guarded temple. Lara repacks her backpack and starts her journey.
