Word of the Day - Mastaba

[debodun]

Mastsba (noun) - an ancient building used as an above-ground burial chamber that looks like a pyramid with the top cut off.

In the ancient city of Memphis in Egypt, the step pyramid is made up of six mastabas stacked on top of each other.

 

[Lavinia]

A mastaba was used as a burial place for people of lower rank in Egyptian society.

Never heard of it and a word I would never need to use.

 

[Pappy]

If I were to use this word, I’d pronounce it very slow and careful…
