After the burial, the entrance was closed by stones and to aid in the process of camouflage the outer surface is covered with rocks to give it The natural form of the desert
His sarcophagus is in the form of a human body and is painted in white, and a face resembling the face of a statue and his eyes are studded and written in kohl. Wood and cardboard (reinforced linen) were painted in the colour that was painted outside the coffin
