		A tomb is a small building (or "vault") for the remains of the dead, with walls, a roof, and (if it is to be used for more than one corpse) a door.
		It may be partly or wholly in the ground (except for its entrance) in a cemetery, or it may be inside a church proper or in its crypt.
		All evidence is in favour of the opinion that this tomb was somewhere near the Damascus gate, and outside the city, and cannot be identified with the so-called "holy sepulchre." The mouth of such rocky tombs was usually closed by a large stone (Heb.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Tomb
		The first class consists of tombs with recumbent tombstones; among such are the stone or metal plates inserted in the flooring of churches.
		During the Renaissance the baldachin assumed an entirely monumental form, almost that of a triumphal arch; fine examples are the monuments of Galleazzo Visconti in the Certosa at Pavia and of Francis I at Saint-Denis.
		During the late Renaissance undue consideration was paid to architecture, as in the sepulchral monument of Giovanni Pesaro in the Frari church at Venice.

	Tomb Raider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tomb Raider is a 1996 video game originally published by Eidos Interactive and developed by Core Design.
		This is shown through Tomb Raider's game play, which is very reminiscent of older platform games like Prince of Persia, Out of this World, and Flashback that had a heavy focus on timed jumping with interspersed combat with enemies.
		A fair percentage of fans of the game argue that the movie adaptations are a poor tribute to their video game heritage, though Jolie, after some initial published criticism mostly centered around her being an American playing a British character, was considered an ideal choice for the role of Lara Croft.

	Egypt: KV55 in the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank at Luxor
		Tomb KV55 (possibly belonging to Akhenaten, Tiy or Smenkhkare) is not open to the public, yet it has been said that more has been written about KV55, a tomb in the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank at Luxor (ancient Thebes), than any of the others located in that area.
		The tomb was partially sealed by its original door and plastered, which was then stamped with the "jackal and nine captives" stamp, the same seal found on the tomb of Tutankhamun.
		The perplexity of this tomb began when it was originally entered, for on top of the fill in the corridor lay a door leaf and a large panel that turned out to be from a large gilded wooden shrine prepared by Akhenaten, the heretic king, for his mother's (Tyi, Tiye) burial in el-Amarna.

	Tomb Robberies - Theban Mapping Project
		Hieratic dockets written by the priests and placed on the mummies allow us to trace the reburials from tomb to tomb until finally the bodies were cached in KV 35 [14657] and in TT 320 [13616], south of Dayr al Bahri.
		For example, the mummy of Rameses II was moved from his own tomb, KV 7, to that of his father, Sety I (KV 17).
