Crypts and Tombs

Paperback (Gareth Stevens Pub Learning library Aug. 1, 2014)
Crypts, tombs, and mausoleums arent just the creepy props of a horror movie; theyre the final resting places of the dead. Many are also beautifully designed monuments. This intriguing examination of some of the worlds most prominent tombs includes the elaborate Taj Mahal, the mysterious Newgrange, the mammoth Great Pyramid, and the star-studded Westminster Abbey. Modern tombs and burial customs are also discussed in this thoughtful text, accompanied by vivid, striking photographs. Sidebars and fact boxes offer more--sometimes chilling--details about various tombs and burial rites.
