Rock-cut tomb

A rock-cut tomb is a burial structure carved directly into solid rock formations, often found in ancient civilizations. Instead of building with bricks or stones, workers chiselled chambers and passages out of natural rock to serve as final resting places for royalty, nobility, or important individuals. These tombs often feature elaborate decorations, like carvings and sculptures, and demonstrate advanced craftsmanship. Because they are cut from a single rock face, they are durable and integrate seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, reflecting the cultural and religious practices of the society that created them.
