Landmark of Lore: Difference between revisions

* A certain important giant man was found in the Arctic ice in ''[[Transformers (Film)|Transformers]]''. In ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Film)|Transformers Revenge of the Fallen]]'', {{spoiler|an ancient alien doomsday device}} was located in the pyramids at Giza.

** And at the beginning of the first one, you had '''[[Somewhere This Index Is Crying|Thebes with pyramids]]''', which seemed kinda mystical. [[Hollywood Atlas|Apparently]], [[Real Place Background|Giza and Thebes]] [[Mix -and -Match Critters|were united]] to create a nice [[Landmark of Lore]].

* In ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', buried under Stonehenge is the Pandorica, the ultimate prison. The justification is that it is really old and really important so the ones who made it put some markers there so they could remember where they put it. {{spoiler|Oh, and the whole thing is a trap for the Doctor designed to appeal to his curiosity.}}

* Used in the RPG ''[[Scion]]'': great landmarks like Stonehenge or Statue of Liberty are called Touchstones, they allow someone to go from the landmark to a place in the Overworld, and then from there to any other point that resonates with that same place. For instance, on could to from Stonehenge in England to the Great Henge, and then go from the Great Henge to ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Carhenge |Carhenge]]''. Why Carhenge? Because it's the funniest replica of Stonehenge, and it's mentioned explicitly in the book's description of Touchstones.
