Standing high on Taddington moor this chambered tomb is reputed to be the highest Neolithic tomb in the country. The chambered cairn is now a shadow of its former self as much of it was destroyed by wall builders 200 years ago. It is said that the bones of 17 people were found here
York Minster is full of a great number of stone carvings and graves. Here's one of Sir William Ingram and his wife Catherine. Sir William was a merchant and passed away in 1623 . I assume he must have been well connected or filthy rich to have been able to afford a tomb within the minster.
Is it just me, or does this couple look as though they have walked off the set of Blackadder?
Five funerary monuments, considered the best examples of Gothic art in Italy.
The Scaligere dynasty left their traces in many Italian towns in the North of the country, for instance near the Garda lake they built a fortress. In Verona the family ruled and built a family cemetery that is the most unusual in the world.

Blythe a Day - Sharp Focus - 11/9/23
I was trying to take this photo for tomorrow for "architecture," but I ended up with a blurry background so it became "sharp focus." I could not have done that on purpose if I tried! Happy accident.

The name Giants Tomb comes from the Wyandot legend of Kitchikewana, a giant god who was ill tempered. To calm him, his tribe thought is was best he married. He was to be wed to Wanakita, who told Kitchlkewana that she loved someone else. In a rage, he destroyed all the wedding decorations. He ran to f Beausoleil Island and grabbing a large ball of earth. Running to the other end, he tossed it into the Great Lakes. Thus, the 30,000 Islands were created. Others stories say he created the island with a hatchet, braking up the mainland to impress Wanakita. In the end, The great Giant lay to rest on Giants tomb island, after his heart had been stolon and broken, by Wanakita

I spent a day here several hours north of the city at Ming's Tomb. Everything lies along the “Central Axis” in Beijing. That is, if you walk in a straight line out of Ming's Tomb, you'll end up going through the entrance to the Forbidden City. Actually, these tombs are a series of tombs, all oriented along the same axis — you can get a sense of this in the video above.

Safdarjung's Tomb is a sandstone and marble mausoleum in New Delhi, India. It was built in 1754 in the late Mughal Empire style for the statesman Safdarjung. The monument has an ambiance of spaciousness and an imposing presence with its domed and arched red brown and white coloured structures. Safdarjung was made prime minister of the Mughal Empire (Wazir ul-Mamlak-i-Hindustan) when Ahmad Shah Bahadur ascended the throne in 1748.
Mirza Muqim Abul Mansur Khan, who was popularly known as Safadarjung, who ruled over Avadh was an independent ruler of Avadh as viceroy of Muhammad Shah.He was very rich and most powerful. With the death of Emperor Muhammad Shah of Mughal Empire, he moved to Delhi. When Mohammed Shah Ahmed Shah ascended the throne of the Mughal Empire in Delhi in 1748, Safdarjung was made the Chief Minister (Vizier) of the empire with the title of Wazir ul-Mamalk-i-Hindustan and at that time the empire was on decline as their rule extended only to North India.
As Vizier he had taken all powers under his control as the king was only a puppet, a figurehead, who was into enjoying life with wine, opium and women. But he overestimated and over exercised his powers with the result that the Emperor’s family called their Hindu Maratha confederacy to help them get rid of their Vizier. A civil strife ensued and eventually in 1753 Safdarjung was driven out of Delhi. He died soon thereafter in 1754. After his death his son Nawab Shujaud Daula pleaded with the Mughal Emperor to permit him to erect a tomb for his father in Delhi. He then built the tomb, which was designed by an Abyssininan architect.
To the south of this tomb is the historic site of the battle that was fought in 1386 between Timur of Mangol and Mohammed Tughlaq when the latter was defeated.

Poulnabrone Tomb

This megalithic dolemen was built over 5,000 years ago. One of the few that has been excavated in Ireland. It contained the bones of twenty two people including six children that were interred over a 600 year period. The oldest person being just over 40 years old. Life was short back then. One had a fracture where a stone arrowhead had struck him and it healed over. There were also grave goods found with a stone celt, pendants and arrowheads. It seems for unknown reasons that only special people were interred there.
