Burial chambers

➤ Burial chambers are final resting places for dignitaries where great treasures are supposed to be buried beside the deceased. Common graves are usually holes dug into ground to receive a coffin or dead body, typically marked by a stone or mound.

Larger final resting places can be mausoleums, crypts and shrines. Whether in pyramids or temples, the burial chambers and tombs of kings, dignitaries and rulers are large enough to hold valuable treasures and artifacts.
