Temple of awesomeness

Hey,

With the release of the new apocalypse trailer there have been two screenshots which interested me:

This

And this:

This looks like the mysterious temple to me, and the first part looks alien to me (Or Vril-ya)

First one is Dig, the Multiplayer map based off an Archaeological excavation site, heads up.

Yeah that other one is fascinating though. It;s absolutely connected to the Easter Egg, looks like some monument, in the Poster there's a beam of light coming from or to it, so there's something up with it.

Sort of looks like what was in the back of Der Riese that controls the bell, but much larger of course.

Also, charge your battery ;)

Oh, is it, sorry bout that.

And yeah by the look of it this map is going to be huge, with a small town, trenches, robots and a huge temple..

Darkjolteon pointed out to me that it is most likely the ruins of Orval Abbey, an ancient monastry located on the France-Belgium border. Here is some info on the place:

The site has been occupied since the Merovingian period, and there is evidence that there was already a chapel here in the 10th century. In 1070, a group of Benedictine monks from Calabria settled here, at the invitation of Arnould, Count of Chiny, and began construction of a church and a monastery, but after some forty years, possibly because of the death of Count Arnould, they moved away again. They were replaced by a community of Canons Regular, who completed the construction work: the abbey church was consecrated on 30 September 1124.

In 1132, a group of Cistercian monks from Trois-Fontaines Abbey in Champagne arrived, and the two groups formed a single community within the Cistercian Order, under the first abbot, Constantin.

Around 1252, the monastery was destroyed by a fire; the rebuilding took around 100 years.

In the literary field the monks of Orval did not much distinguish themselves. The only noteworthy writer was Aegidius or Gilles d'Orval, who lived in the first half of the thirteenth century. He wrote the continuation, to the year 1251, of the "Gesta Pontificum Leodiensium", which had been written up to the year 1048 by Heriger of Lobbes and Anselm of Liège (Mon. Germ. Script., XXV, 1-129).

During the 15th and 16th centuries, the various wars between France and various neighbouring regions (Burgundy, Spain) had an important impact on Orval. At one stage a foundry was established on the site. In 1637, during the Thirty Years' War, the abbey was pillaged and burnt by French mercenaries.

In the 17th century, the abbey converted to the Trappist branch of the Cistercian order, but reverted back to the Rule of the main order in around 1785.

In 1793, during the French Revolution, the abbey was completely burnt down by French forces, in retaliation for the hospitality it had provided to Austrian troops, and the community dispersed.
