On one of the simple forms of Burial in use among the Ancient Egyptians, observed in a recent excavation at Geezeh

Abstract

The author describes what he believes to be the tombs of two common people excavated outside Giza in Egypt. The dimensions of the tombs were very similar, as were the vessels discovered alongside the remains. The bodies in both tombs were either ritually arranged to fit into the small space or dismembered, a feature that the author speculates may have been a feature of ancient cultures across the world.
