Current Events > Do ancient tombs & ruins really have complex mechanisms like in Uncharted

(+) Yeah! (+)

also traps

Like sconces that light themselves, or doors that need light to shine on them in a certain way. Or pressure plate that seals the door behind you and start filling the room with sand.

I'm pretty sure they didn't. Cuz that stuff seems more fantasy than adventure. But I figured I'd ask

I wanna find a ruin like that irl

no

The aliens who built those temples irl used much more advanced security measures than pressure plates lmao

maybe. maybe they killed everyone who discovered them

that's what i hope happened. gotta have some bone bois littered around when i explore em, otherwise it wont feel like the games

I'd be pretty disappointed if I found an ancient tomb and at some point there wasn't a room where the walls started to close in on me tbh.

if you're talking about tombs that are hundreds or thousands of years old, even if they once had traps, I'd imagine they no longer worked

You'd assume some of them would at least have spike pits. I mean, how hard could that be to put in?

I believe some had relatively simple traps with the intention of keeping out grave robbers, but they were mostly curiosities when excavated.

Weren't there a few pyramids constructed in such a way as to have false doors and hidden chambers?

I've heard that, but I want that borderline magic shit. Look at the kinda stuff Avery's crew setup in Uncharted 4, or the Shambala monks in Uncharted 2

uhm excuse me put Nathan Drake and co always comment when they find provisions and note that they are "past the sell-by date"

Hmm... was it him that could find weapons/weapons parts in sealed tombs?

ehhh kinda. here and there you'll find like, flintlocks, or old powder kegs in old colonist structures or pirate caves. nothing that stretches the realm of believability too badly
