ANCIENT TOMB

The Jigsaw

Time is a journey we experience through the pieces of this jigsaw puzzle… What has become of this place several centuries later? By completing this puzzle, discover this mysterious structure. It’s up to you to imagine the events that left their mark through history. Emilien Rotival revisits the universe of Ancient Knowledge, a game by Rémi Mathieu. 

The Illustration

The original illustration shows the construction of a tomb in which many treasures are said to be housed. This version shows the tomb being rediscovered after centuries; dust, seeping water and deposits have transformed the place, which an intrepid archaeologist is exploring. However, its occupant might have preferred to be left to sleep forever… A lot of the inspiration for this image came from ancient Egyptian tombs, except of course for the artefacts shown. They come from all human cultures, but it was important to give the illusion of a coherent whole drawn from some pharaoh’s treasure.
