Summary
edit_-_Egypt-6B-014.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description |
Tombs of the Nobles, Aswan, Egypt The tombs (or chapels) usually consist of two or more chambers cut into the rock which were then painted. The deceased may of been buried in a well which was dug down either in the tomb / chapel or in the courtyard in front (although sometimes the mummy would not have been buried here at all). The tombs date from the 6th Dynasty to the Graeco-Roman Period (although the vast majority date from the New Kingdom). The causeways which run down the hillside from the different cemetery levels would have been used to drag the coffins and burial goods up to the tombs. |
