The unflinching African sun has continued to plague our expedition, making it impossible to dig until dusk. How Professor Herbert managed to find the location in these vast plains of nothingness remains a mystery to me.

History

Little is seen through Amnesia, though a few areas can be found in the loading screens of Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

The only actual location mentioned, and possibly seen, is the Tomb of Tin Hinan, through a brief flashback in the Archives.

The location is, however, featured in one of the short stories in Remember - Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

Remember - Old Friends

Back in 1839, Daniel took part in Herbert's expedition to Algeria, in order to uncover an ancient tomb, located in the country's deserts. They arrive in Algiers on May 14th. On the next day, Herbert meets up with his old friend, Faraj, and he receives a map from him that shows the way to the Tomb of Tin Hinan. Herbert and Daniel start making their way towards the tomb the next day.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent

On May 17th, Daniel became trapped inside the tomb after the stone slab collapsed behind him, sealing him inside. Though Daniel's body was heavy to carry, he managed to move on, and suddenly saw a faint blue shimmer, which was The Shadow's orb. After closing it in his hands, the enchanting light began to spark brightly and spirit him away. While having visions about "spiraling towers, endless deserts and impossible geometry", he eventually was freed by a few Arabs, awoke to several orb pieces clasped firmly in his hands. Since the incident, Herbert sent Daniel back to England, fearing he might risk the entire expedition.

After these events, Herbert, who had connections to Alexander of Brennenburg, had found a second orb which he retrieved. Hoping that it would reach Alexander, Herbert's expedition had gone terribly wrong, as the only survivor, known as Abdullah had been badly injured, and rambled deliriously about the expedition being attacked by something horrible, which was in fact, The Shadow.
