Obelisk tombs





The tombs on the top has an Egyptian style, very similar to an obelisk and therefore is being referred to as the 'obelisk' tombs. The tombs in the lower part is referred to as the 'triclinium', presumably containing chambers used for memorial feasts to the dead. Today we don't celebrate our dead like they did in the days of pharoahs and the Nabataeans.
