Special tables, stone slabs, or basins were sometimes included in tomb architectural for placement offerings. Family members visited tombs of their ancestors for certain holidays or festivals, leaving offerings to sustain them in their afterlives. Statues of the tomb owner and/or family members were secluded in serdabs, often with only a small window slit for viewing in from the main chapel. Some chapels included a hidden chamber called a “serdab” near the false door. A “false door” was meant to allow the deceased’s spirit to cross back into the world of the living to receive offerings left by visitors. Tomb chapels also provided space for preserving a social connection between the living and the dead. Longer inscriptions often refer to the main tomb owner’s career, which in many cases was the reason they could have a tomb at Giza in the first place.
Many tomb chapels were adorned with carved and/or painted hieroglyphic text and scenes related to the lives – and the desired afterlives – of the individuals buried there. The two most common types of tombs at Giza are rectangular “mastaba” tombs (Arabic word for “bench”) built of stone and/or mud bricks, and rock-cut tombs carved directly out of natural limestone of the Giza Plateau. Above all, they were designed to promote and prepare Egyptians for the afterlife existence that they envisioned was coming after death. Earlier tombs designed with several rooms may have been thought of as houses for the afterlife, with layouts that resembled real house plans, but ideas about the tomb changed over time. Giza tombs often consist of an aboveground chapel, one or more shafts cut down into the bedrock of the Giza Plateau, and one or more underground burial chambers where people were laid to rest. The main cemeteries (Eastern Cemetery, Western Cemetery, and the Central Field) originally were for members of Egypt’s administration (and their families) and royal family members during the Old Kingdom period of history.
