Mastabas
The Mastaba consist of a courtyard, a
storage room, Ti's chapel and a serdab, like the
one Zoser had built for himself. Ti couldn't be
any less than the great pharaoh. |

Mastabas were usually
never used by kings, but was the finest form of
grave that a notable could get.
In short, Mastabas were rectangular buildings
often without any exterior decorations. Inside
there was everything from one to many rooms.
They
were covered with wall-decorations that the gods
about the person or the people buried in the
Mastaba. The actual burial ground could often be
underground.
Mastabas are interesting because their interiors
have so much more decorations and colors than the
austere pyramids.
