MASTABA (Arab. for " bench ")

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 871 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MASTABA (Arab. for " bench ") , in Egyptian architecture, the
term
  given to the rectangular tombs in stone with raking sides and a flat roof. There were three chambers inside. In one the walls were sometimes richly decorated with paintings and had a low bench of stone in them on which
incense
  was burnt: The second chamber was either closed, with holes pierced in the
wall
  separating it from the first chamber, or entered through a narrow passage through which the fumes of the
incense
  passed; this chamber contained the serdab or figure of the deceased. A
vertical
  well-hole cut in the
rock
  descended to a third chamber in which the
mummy
  was laid.
