Mastabas
The Mastaba consist of a courtyard, a storage room, Ti's chapel and a serdab, like the one Zoser had built for himself. Ti couldn't be any less than the great pharaoh.

Mastabas were usually never used by kings, but was the finest form of grave that a notable could get. In short, Mastabas were rectangular buildings often without any exterior decorations. Inside there was everything from one to many rooms.
They were covered with wall-decorations that the gods about the person or the people buried in the Mastaba. The actual burial ground could often be underground.
Mastabas are interesting because their interiors have so much more decorations and colors than the austere pyramids.
