Question

Which of the following is/are example(s) of Tomb Architecture of Ancient Egypt?

• A. Step Pyramid of Zoser, Sakkara
• B. Great Temple of Abu-Simbel
• C. Temple of Khons, Karnak
• D. Mastabas of Gizeh

Hint:

Egyptian tomb architecture evolved from simple Mastabas to Step Pyramids and later smooth-sided pyramids.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A, D

Ancient Egyptian tomb architecture includes early burial forms such as Mastabas and the Step Pyramid of King Zoser at Sakkara, which is considered the earliest monumental stone structure and an evolution of mastaba-type tombs. The Great Temple of Abu-Simbel and Temple of Khons at Karnak are examples of religious temple architecture, not tombs. Hence, the structures that fall under tomb architecture are the Step Pyramid (A) and the Mastabas (D).
