Tomb architecture
Tomb architecture refers to the design and construction of burial places for the deceased, reflecting cultural beliefs and practices about death and the afterlife. Throughout history, tombs have varied greatly in style, size, and materials, from simple graves to elaborate structures like pyramids and mausoleums. They often feature artistic elements, such as carvings or inscriptions, celebrating the individual's life or addressing spiritual concepts. Architecturally, tombs serve both functional purposes, like protecting the remains, and symbolic ones, expressing the values and beliefs of the society that built them.
