 | PG/779 | A large, stone built chamber with four rooms. There was no clear death pit, though Woolley suggested that the upper shaft may once have contained structures or other burials. The multiple rooms inside the large chamber, however, served the purpose of a death pit in many ways as there would have been multiple burials within. The two central chambers had been badly damaged in the collapse of the roof and the tomb had been plundered in antiquity. This means that the true number of attendants cannot be known and any royal personage cannot be identified, but the few artifacts inside and the size of the chamber attribute to it having been important.Indeed, this was the location of the so-called 'Royal Standard of Ur'. | (none) |
