Tomb Architecture
Tomb architecture refers to the design and construction of burial sites, which can vary widely across cultures and historical periods. These structures often reflect the beliefs and customs surrounding death and the afterlife. Examples include the grand pyramids of Egypt, the intricate mausoleums of Persia, and the simple grave markers found in many cultures.
Tomb architecture can serve both functional and symbolic purposes. Functionally, it provides a space for the deceased and their belongings, while symbolically, it represents the status and identity of the individual. Notable examples include the Taj Mahal in India and the Catacombs of Rome.
