Satire | TOMB, n. The House of Indifference. Tombs are now by common consent invested with a certain sanctity, but when they have been long tenanted it is considered no sin to break them open and rifle them, the famous Egyptologist, Dr. Huggyns, explaining that a tomb may be innocently "glened" as soon as its occupant is done "smellynge," the soul being then all exhaled. This reasonable view is now generally accepted by archaeologists, whereby the noble science of Curiosity has been greatly dignified. Source: Devil's Dictionary. |
Dream Interpretation | To dream of seeing tombs, denotes sadness and disappointments in business. Dilapidated tombs omens death or desperate illness. To dream of seeing your own tomb, portends your individual sickness or disappointments. To read the inscription on tombs, foretells unpleasant duties. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |

The Mausoleum of Theodoric (italian Mausoleo Teodorico) in Ravenna was built in 520 by Theodoric the Great as his future tomb. Its current structure is divided into two decagonal orders, one above the other and both made of Istria stone. It is roofed with a single 300 ton Istria stone of 10 metres in diameter. A niche leads down to a room which was probably a chapel for funeral liturgies. A stair leads to the upper floor. A circular porphyry tub is located in the centre of the floor, in which Theodoric was supposed to be buried. His remains were removed during Byzantine rule.
It was inscribed with seven other Early Christian Monuments and Mosaics of Ravenna buildings as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1996.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A tomb is a small building (or "vault") for the remains of the dead, with walls, a roof, and (if it is to be used for more than one corpse) a door. It may be partly or wholly in the ground (except for its entrance) in a cemetery, or it may be inside a church proper or in its crypt. Single tombs may be permanently sealed; those for families (or other groups) have doors for access whenever it is needed.

Tombs in the Bible
This is an article from the public domain Easton's Bible Dictionary, originally published in 1897. This article is written from a nineteenth century Christian viewpoint, and may not reflect modern opinions or recent discoveries in Biblical scholarship. Please help the Wikipedia by bringing this article up to date.Tombs - of the Hebrews were generally excavated in the solid rock, or were natural caves. Mention is made of such tombs in Judg. 8:32; 2 Sam. 2:32; 2 Kings 9:28; 23:30. They were sometimes made in gardens (2 Kings 21:26; 23:16; Matt. 27:60). They are found in great numbers in and around Jerusalem and all over the land. They were sometimes whitewashed (Matt. 23:27, 29). The body of Jesus was laid in Joseph's new rock-hewn tomb, in a garden near to Calvary. All evidence is in favour of the opinion that this tomb was somewhere near the Damascus gate, and outside the city, and cannot be identified with the so-called "holy sepulchre." The mouth of such rocky tombs was usually closed by a large stone (Heb. golal), which could only be removed by the united efforts of several men (Matt. 28:2; comp. John 11:39). (See Golgotha.)
