There are many monuments and mastabas
scattered in the area but this one is particularly interesting.
This mastaba is considered the largest non-royal tomb in Egypt.
It belongs to Ptahshepses who was a court official. Two six-meter-high
columns with bud capitals flank the entrance of the mastaba.
It consists of many rooms and at the southernmost side, there
are 2 rooms that probably held Solar Boats
one day.
As well as being a burial place, the mastaba also included a
mortuary temple.
Though reliefs are not well-preserved, the tomb is indeed a
typical example of a mastaba. |
