History and Mythology play a big part in Tomb Raider and its a big thing to Lara as well. Archaeology comes into this category aswell. The definition of archaeology is "The scientific study of historic or prehistoric peoples and their cultures by analysis of their artefacts, inscriptions, monuments, and other such remains, esp. those that have been excavated", which is exactly what Lara does - in her own way of course. You do History in school, but not to this extent. If you want to be a real Tomb Raider then it is best to study these things.
Reccomendations
It is good to study History and Archaeology in a library or on the Internet. Also, have a toolbox to put in all your tools that you will need like; a toothbrush, a trowel, other brushes, a pickaxe and more. Most importantly, have fun!
