Tomb of the Ancients
Tomb of the Ancients is a Mak relic, large, starting at Silver, on a 6-second cooldown. It is not a season-20 limited card. The database still lists it on the 20.1 set, which is why the old season folder was a bad URL.
The numbers on the card
Regen 5, 10, or 15 by quality. Poison on the same ladder. Each other relic you own adds a multicast. The quest line: finish a quest on a different item and this one freezes something for a second; a second quest upgrades that freeze. Cost is 12, 24, or 48 gold. Sell value is half of that. Eleven merchants can stock it, including Pol, Goldie, Barkun, and Luxe. All 13 enchantments are legal on the card. The history column names patches and does not spell out a 20.1 sentence, so I am not claiming the November hotfix touched it.
You want it when the rest of the board is also relics, because the multicast is the scaling and a lonely tomb is just a slow poison tick. For Vanessa weapons or Dooley cores, it is not part of their normal hero shop pool: its hero tag is Mak. Other acquisition routes should be checked separately. Zosima is the skill door that supports this plan, not a substitute for the relic itself. Pair it with other Mak relics rather than with Cymbal's tempo.
People search the short name "tomb" and land on two cards in the database, both Mak. I am writing this page about Tomb of the Ancients, the relic with the quest freeze, and I am not folding a second tomb into the same cooldown.

Questions
Whose item is Tomb of the Ancients?
Mak. Large, relic and property, Silver start.
Did patch 20.1 change it?
The hotfix list I read does not name it. The card history has version numbers without that sentence.
