Mastaba



A mastaba (translated as "house for eternity" or "eternal house" from Ancient Egyptian) are ancient buildings in the form of a flat-roofed, rectangular structure with inward sloping sides, constructed out of mud-bricks (from the Nile River). Egyptologists and conservative historians view mastabas as another type of Egyptian tomb.

The largest of these structures is Mastaba-17 (M17), followed by the second largest Mastaba-16 (M16).
