This is the possible Tomb Raider Chronology. This chronology is about Lara's discoveries and some other facts. It is pre-reboot (e.g. does not include anything from the game to be released in 2013), nor does it - for now - include any information from the movies or comics, and probably is not correct nor complete. Since Lara's background story changes between the classic Core Design and newer Crystal Dynamics games (and even within these periods) it is not easy to create a definitive time line.
