burial chambers
Where corpses rest
Burial chambers are enclosed spaces designed to hold the dead, typically underground or within tombs and pyramids.
The term evokes ancient structures—Egyptian tombs, megalithic passage graves, royal crypts—rather than modern interments: Archaeologists discovered burial chambers filled with gold artifacts.
A burial chamber may hold one body or many, along with objects meant to accompany the deceased.
