A mastaba is an ancient Egyptian tomb structure with a flat-roofed, rectangular shape and sloping sides. It typically housed the remains of nobles and officials in ancient Egypt, serving as a precursor to the pyramid tombs of the pharaohs. Notable figures like high-ranking officials and members of the royal family were often buried in mastabas.
A Neolithic tomb is also known as a megalithic tomb, which is a type of burial chamber constructed from large stones. These tombs were typically used for communal burials during the Neolithic period.

Royal queens, princes and princesses might have their own mini-pyramid near the pyramid of the pharaoh. Noblemen and women, priests, officials and wealthy people were usually buried in a "mastaba"-type tomb, or a hidden chamber in a group of similar burials. Ordinary people (the huge majority of the ancient Egyptian society) would simply be buried in a grave in the desert, perhaps along with a few pottery containers, a pair of sandals and some food offerings - with no coffin, no mummification, no inscriptions. Ironically, desert burials often preserved bodies just as effectively as mummification, since the sand and natural minerals dried the body quite quickly and preserved skin and organ tissues.
