entombed
Buried in stone
Entombed means placed in a tomb or buried, often with connotations of permanence or finality: The pharaohs were entombed with their treasures.
Figuratively, it describes being trapped or sealed within something: The miners remained entombed for days before rescue.
The word suggests enclosure that is complete and difficult to escape.
