mysterious World War II tunnel is unearthed while building a new highway
in Bohemia. Martin Holan, a linguistics and archeology student has been
contacted to examine the fascinating discovery. Upon his arrival to the
site, Martin soon uncovers a mysterious murder and a potential
connection to the enigmatic tunnel. What begins as a short expedition
to
Prague
turns into a dangerous and thrilling mystery, where the deep dark
secrets of the Nazis, and the demise of the Mayan civilization, have our
hero reeling into the heart of an exhilarating adventure.
NIBIRU

the standard elements, AGDS enables several graphical effects including:
