I was watching Tomb Raider The Cradle Of Life, a few days ago and noticed some stuff in it and wanted to put my thoughts out there. 
In about scene 7 some MI6 agents are at Laura Croft's house, to talk to her about "The Cradle Of Life" and "Pandora's Box". MI6 does not want "Pandora's Box" to fall into the hands of Jonathan Reiss, who is a "Modern day Dr. Mengele" willing to sell weapons to the highest bidder.
Pandora's Box is considered a Greek myth, It goes something like this. Pandora was given a box by god, and told not to open it. She does and unleashes pain into the world... I don't want to go into the whole story. One main part is that Pharos son was told to transport it to the end of the world, because it wiped out most of Pharos army. From the Pictures in the movie it appears to be moved on a cart.
This sounds like a story out of the Bible that has been twisted. In I Chronicles 13 you can reed the story of the Ark Of The Covenant being move on a cart by oxen. That looks like what is happening above. There are some differences in the story but it made me think of this. To me it sounds like there is nothing new under the sun, you just have to change enough to make it sound new.
Your thoughts and comments on this would be greatly appreciated.
