Tombs

Tombs

Tombs are places or structures made to contain the remains of the deceased. Tomb architecture ranges from underground chambers and rock-cut spaces to built enclosures with entrances, memorial markers, and associated ritual areas. The arrangement of a tomb's contents, decoration, and access reflects cultural practices of burial and remembrance, as well as local materials and construction traditions.

Buildings and Structures of Remembrance

Pyramids, tombs, and mausoleums differ in construction and the ways built space serves religious or commemorative purposes. Monuments broaden that relationship beyond burial, using setting, form, and material to make shared remembrance visible in public or landscape settings.
