But eventually, originally what they do is they go out to the desert where the sand, you know, where these big sand pits are and they clear away the sand and they, you know, you bury grandpa in there and maybe you bury him with some of his crap that you don't really want. You know, it's like, ah, maybe grandpa would have wanted that. I don't really have a use for this thing.

So, you know, eventually somebody returns to go see his grandpa's grave, and it's been desecrated. And then you can see how the cycle of developing stigmas and, you know, superstitions about burials begins. Cursed tombs. Cursed tombs, and it becomes obsessive, right?

And you can see this natural progression from sandpit burial to a sandpit burial being covered with stones, because they thought that would stop people from desecrating the tombs. And then it just continues and continues until you get to these rock cut tombs that go into the ground. But that's not enough. They've got to put a building on top of it. So then we call that a mastaba.

And then that mastaba eventually turns into six mastabas stacked on top of each other that makes this step pyramid. And then that can develop into a pyramid. And so it just – it's this – there are these – essentially this is – It's like a dump for their bodies that eventually becomes like the central point of their religion, right? Right.
