    Mastabas were early Egyptian tombs constructed as flat-roofed rectangular structures made of mudbricks or stone. They provided better protection than earlier burial structures by deterring scavenging animals and grave robbers. Mastabas evolved over time and consisted of an outer chamber, vertical shaft, and subterranean room called a sardab. Their above-ground structures were rectangular with inward sloping walls and flat roofs, and were initially constructed from sun-dried mudbricks readily available from the Nile River.
