Tomb Raider
Ancient grave plunderer
Tomb Raider is a video game franchise featuring archaeologist Lara Croft, who explores ancient ruins and tombs while fighting enemies and solving puzzles.
The series launched in 1996 and spawned films, comics, and cultural influence.
A tomb raider in the generic sense is someone who plunders burial sites for valuables—essentially a grave robber: The Egyptian tombs were stripped by tomb raiders centuries ago.
