The reason they look so similar and there is so many of them is because there were actually contracting companies who built them.

They weren't limited to the royalty, instead any Nabatean who could afford one had one commissioned for them and their family as a hereditary tomb.

Fourknocks Passage Tomb this evening in heavy rain. We’ll return, earlier in the day, and when the weather is more forgiving.

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits - the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum.

Fantastic neolithic underground burial complex. In use for over 1000 years, and excavated with bone and horn tools, the complex once housed 7000 bodies. For conservation reasons, visitor numbers are limited and there is no photography: the photos in my Flickr album were found on the web and uploaded for illustrative purposes.

A quotation from Martial:

«««««
Boy! let my cup with rosy wine o’erflow,
Above the melting of the summer snow:
Let my wet hair with wasteful odour shine,
And loads of roses round my temples twine:
Tombs of the Caesars, your sad honours cry,
“Live, little men, for lo! the gods can die.”
[Sextantes, Calliste, duos infunde Falerni,
Tu super aestivas, Alcime, …

“The Kiss of Death” from Poblenou Cemetery, Barcelona. An inscription reads: "So his youthful heart is fading. In his veins his blood is freezing, and all strength has slipped away. Faith is leveled as he falls into the arms of Death. Alas!” Photo: Stephan Harmes.

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: this fresco from the Tomb of the Diver, in the archaeological museum of Paestum. We see a young, naked, athletic man, preceded by a girl playing the aulos, and followed by an older man. The other interior faces of the tomb show guests drinking, hints of sexual activity, drinking games. The tomb's lid shows the unique, and eponymous, fresco - a naked young man diving into a pool of water.
