When the pharaohs began building pyramids, the officers remained buried in mastabas.
A mastaba is a type of Egyptian ancient tomb that has a rectangular shape at the level of its structure, and is covered by a flat roof, which then falls on each side, like a tent. It was a mark of respect for officials and nobles of Egypt. The mastabas were built of brick and earth, or stone. There are many around the pyramids of Giza. In fact, a pyramid is nothing more than the evolution of the mastaba, which affirms the power and wealth of the pharaoh. When the pharaohs began building pyramids, the officers remained buried in mastabas.
