This is an article about the Easter Eggs in Tomb Raider - Angel of Darkness.
What is an easter egg?[]
Definition from wikipedia.
While the term Easter egg has been used to mean a hidden object for some time, in reference to an Easter egg hunt, it has come to be more commonly used to mean a message, image, or feature hidden in a video game, movie, or other, usually electronic, medium. (source)
