Description

The exact purpose for the Time Tombs of Hyperion is not known, nor why such a diverse range of building styles are present in such a small area on a single world with no native sentient species. Research projects have been conducted, but only new questions are uncovered. Why do the tombs appear at once to be crumbling and ancient, but also new and perfect? Why do the time-tides fluctuate around them, flowing back and forward seemingly at random? And what is their relation to The Shrike, the Time-God that is apparently trapped by their presence?
