A pit privy is a latrine with an outhouse over it. A hole is dug in the earth, an outbuilding is placed over it for convenience and privacy, and people use it for sanitary elimination. (A latrine is simply a hole or trench that is used for human elimination, then covered as needed.) A pit privy may be covered as needed and the outhouse building above moved to a new location.
In Victorian times, the outside toilet was commonly referred to as a "privy" or "privy pit." These facilities were often simple structures located in the backyard, and they typically consisted of a wooden seat positioned over a pit or a trough, where waste would accumulate. The use of privies was prevalent before the advent of indoor plumbing and sewer systems.
The pit of death is a big pit with spikes at the bottom and it's not in Sparta it is in Athens.
Perhaps a privy council. or Perhaps a parliament.

The pit is a chamber that has still underneath it a sealed off shaft that leads to a tomb chamber. When they place a mummy in the tomb chamber with his furniture, they seal the shaft entrance, leaving only a floor of the pit. You can see the design in the Mastabas. I am still not sure why they did not dig yet under the pit. Probably there is water and it can collapse the pyramid.

An old fashioned name for toilet.
A vault-type sanitary pit privy is a type of toilet facility that features a sealed underground chamber (the vault) designed to collect human waste. Unlike traditional pit latrines, which may allow for direct contact with the soil, vault privies are constructed to minimize odor and prevent groundwater contamination. They often include a superstructure for user privacy and can be emptied periodically, making them more hygienic and environmentally friendly. This design is particularly useful in areas without access to modern sewage systems.

A pit privy, commonly known as a pit latrine, is a type of on-site sanitation facility where human waste is collected in a deep hole or pit dug into the ground. There are several types of pit privies, including simple pit latrines, which are basic holes in the ground; ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrines, which include a ventilation pipe to reduce odors and insects; and composting pit latrines, which facilitate the breakdown of waste into compost. They are often used in areas lacking access to sewage systems and can vary in design based on local practices and materials.
