NEW TRAILER & SPLASH - We have been working feverishly on new assets — one of them being a whole rework of the original timeline animation. We think it looks great, but we'd like to hear your thoughts. Check out the new video trailer, like it (if you like it), and please share your comments:

NEW TRAILER: http://kck.st/1lCTlJQ

ACCURATE, BUT CONTROVERSIAL, DATES - Also, We've updated dates slightly as they are different from what we understood over 15 years ago when we first designed Riddle of the Sphinx. As late as two days ago we uncovered a historical item that significantly impacts (enhances) ROTS' story, affects the pyramid's dating, which is somewhat of a guessing game among scholars, and adding a compelling twist to WHY the Great Pyramid was so advanced while the others before were not, WHAT knowledge the ancients had to make such an impressive megalithic monument, and as to WHO gave the ancient Egyptians the knowledge. We even have a VERY close estimation of WHEN it happen.

EXPANDED STORY - We're withholding the details as it will be a part of the story, but I can tell you that it is historically binding and compelling beyond anything I've ever come across in all my years of research.

Thank you all for your support. If you like the new trailer, please spread the word. We've listened to several suggestions and this was one of them... to provide more background on the story.

Blessings from the ROTS Team

IMAGE CREDIT: We want to thank Iman Kia (imankia.com) for the background image used in the video and splash. When I saw it, I knew we had to feature it in the timeline. Iman was gracious enough to allow us to use his beatiful moonlit sky backdrop.

      @GalvanicSpiral:

      My jaw dropped in amazement when the Lord revealed this hidden historical "jewel of the Nile" and it's significance concerning not only the Great Pyramid, but the secret of Egyptian Empire's power going forward. It was an epiphany moment!

      @Sir Jordi in Bloom:Memories lands:

      Glad you like it. This is one of the settings we are planning to have for exploration, along with the default daylight sunlit environment.

      Love the new trailer, especially the music transition when "PRESENT" fades onscreen. I'm really anxious to know what this new "historical item" is that enhances the story. Sounds exciting!
