Tomb of Tihocan
From Tomb Raider Wiki
Lara has at last reached her goal of the Greek levels - the ancient Tomb of Tihocan. Following a new shaft from the Cistern and going ever deeper into the bowels of the Earth, she will at last find the second piece of what she has been searching for.

Original Version
The early part of the tomb features tunnels and cisterns that may well be an earlier version of the Cistern above that was built over. However there are various traps and pitfalls which suggest the eagerness of the builders of the tomb to prevent any possible grave robbers. They have also mastered the science of channeling water so that it flows quickly to its desired destination.
Later, parts of the tomb are highly decorated in marble as well as the grey-blue stone used in the Cistern. They are also carved with elaborate patterns and symbols, as well as panels of Greek lettering. Central to the level are also a network of flooded tunnels which Lara must swim through in order to collect certain items such as keys.
The final part of the level goes deeper into a subterranean lake where the tomb is located. This is the most ancient part of the Greek levels. The walls are covered in various slimes and algaes, but of course the ancient mechanisms that abound in this place still work perfectly. Lara must use these mechanisms to open the door of the fairly modest tomb, and claim her prize.
Anniversary Version - Tomb of Tihocan Area
Of course, very little of the Tomb of Tihocan from the original was revamped for Anniversary. In effect, only the subterranean lake with the tomb at one end was included, as well as underwater levers to allow access.
