Pues en esta isla aparecen los primeros detalles sobre la mitología de la isla, de las tumbas y de los guerreros sobrenaturales a los que nos enfrentaremos. SPOILER:
Crystal Dynamics was keeping mum on the actual nature of the tombs we'll be raiding in this latest adventure but, once again, we found some intel on it while they weren't watching us closely. One of the concept paintings flashed in front of us was earmarked with the term 'Kofun'. These are megalithic tombs or 'tumuli' in Japan, constructed between early 3rd Century and early 7th Century. It's worth noting that in 1976 the Japanese government restricted access to some key Kofun sites by foreign archeologists. Why that is still isn't clear.
Clay figures called haniwa (think China's terracotta warriors) were placed around these tombs to guard them and we saw a few paintings depicting a monastery with similar sculptures. But as opposed to traditional haniwa, which depict human warriors (note: OPM is not entirely correct - haniwas were made in numerous forms of humans, animals, buildings and various tools and items), the statues we saw had a bit more of a 'demons-with-predator-wrist-blades' vibe to them. Could these dangerous religious sites have a link t why this seemingly inescapable island is a magnet for ship and plane wrecks
Resumiendo , por la isla hay una serie de túmulos del periodo Kofun- como curiosidad desde 1976 algunas de estas tumbas están restringidas a arqueólogos extranjeros-. Según parece están protegidas por unas estatuas de arcilla ( como los guerreros de terracota) de nombre "haniwa". Los "haniwas" vstos por OPM recuerdan a un demonio y depredador con cuchillas en los brazos. ¿Os suena de algo? xD. Por lo que parece entonces, estas estatuas vuelven a la vida.
