A mastaba (/ˈmæstəbə/ MASS-tə-bə,^[1] /ˈmɑːstɑːbɑː/ MAHSS-tah-bah or /mɑːˈstɑːbɑː/ mahss-TAH-bah), also mastabah or mastabat) is a type of ancient Egyptian tomb in the form of a flat-roofed, rectangular structure with inward sloping sides, constructed out of mudbricks or limestone. These edifices marked the burial sites of many eminent Egyptians during Egypt’s Early Dynastic Period and Old Kingdom. Non-royal use of mastaba continued for over a thousand years.

I imagined a really big tomb whose top could be populated with various structures such as small temples and other buildings whose function could be useful to religious events related to the person buried inside the tomb. In the background we can see the pyramid of the leader that the person inside the mastaba died in service to.
