A mastaba is an ancient Egyptian tomb structure characterized by a flat-roofed, rectangular shape with sloping sides, typically made of mudbrick or stone. It served as a burial place for elite individuals, particularly during the Early Dynastic Period and the Old Kingdom. The interior often contained multiple chambers for the burial and offerings, and the exterior was usually adorned with carvings and inscriptions. Mastabas were precursors to the more elaborate pyramids that followed in Egyptian architecture.
