The tomb itself, one of our first wrong stops on the bus, remains unexcavated. It lies within an inner wall and beneath a four-sided pyramid mound that was originally landscaped to appear as a low, wooded mountain. The interior is reputedly a vast underground palace that took about 700,000 conscripted workmen more than 36 years to complete. Today the mound has a stairway and lots of tourists running up it. |
