The Divine Merit Stele Pavilion and a huí biăo, one of the most iconic features of classical Chinese architecture, on the Sacred Way, the approach to the Ming Tombs. The column is smothered in carvings of stylised clouds while a massive, five clawed dragon twines itself around the shaft from the base to the top, where two wing-like cloud formations protrude. At the apex of the column sits a mythical creature called a wàng tiān hŏu, which has all the physical characteristics of a dragon but with a distinctive, flowing mane. It is one of the Nine Sons of the Dragon and it symbolises the will of heaven being sent to humans and the condition of the people being reported back to the heavens. This photograph was taken in 1924 by Sidney Gamble, a British engineer who lived in Beijing for many years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bbd4eec534a5c4ae3ffc01/1652594568193-XPM5RVDIG09CJ4222DHS/MT.+Ch.+2.+Spirit+Road.+Commander+with+baton.+300-3300x4744-9.14.jpg Ming Tombs Gallery - Statue of a military commander guarding the approach to the necropolis.

In addition to adhering closely to the principles of classical architecture when designing their funerary buildings the Ming emperors also followed such norms for the layout of mausoleums as south-north axes, walled courtyards, restrictive gateways and a hierarchy of structures whereby the most important building was always placed at the northernmost point of the site and the size and heights of the structures gradually increased as the main structural element was approached. Hence the formal entry portal, known as the Gate of Eminent Favour, was dominated by the ceremonial hall, the Hall of Eminent Favour, which was in turn dominated by the mausoleum’s northernmost structure, the Soul Tower which stood before the burial mound. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bbd4eec534a5c4ae3ffc01/1652594678885-DP8612CV0EEBB56OV222/MT.+Ch.1.+Chang+Ling.+HEF.+300-6717x5051-14.20.jpg Ming Tombs Gallery - Hall of Eminent Favour of the Chang Ling.

Marriage within the family was not uncommon in ancient Egypt and was practised by the ruling family as a means of perpetuating the royal lineage. Tutankhamun’s parents were also brother and sister, which would explain some of the genetic conditions from which the boy king suffered, including a cleft palate and a club foot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bbd4eec534a5c4ae3ffc01/1657238803471-QO7LV7IMEL3ZAVUO165P/GBP.+Cairo.+View+over+the+rooftops.+M+72-1280x960.jpg Great Burial Places gallery - CITY OF THE DEAD, CAIRO.

A monk still wears the penitential rope that he carried around his neck as a self-inflicted punishment for his sins. In 1599 the monks of the Capuchin monastery in Palermo began mummifying their deceased brethren and placing them in the catacombs they had excavated beneath their church. Over the following centuries it became a status symbol to be entombed there so that today the Capuchin catacombs contain over 2,000 mummies crammed into galleries that are divided into categories: priests, monks, professionals, men, women, children and virgins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bbd4eec534a5c4ae3ffc01/1657239574312-UMKX195Z4EVBIJ2R8T7D/Monks+from+Capuchin+monastery..PNG Great Burial Places gallery - One hall of the crypt is reserved for the remains of monks who served in the Capuchin monastery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bbd4eec534a5c4ae3ffc01/1657239805584-6920Q6GNEBW7QR25X2J7/Childrens+Hall.PNG Great Burial Places gallery - Amongst the most poignant exhibits are those in the Children’s Hall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bbd4eec534a5c4ae3ffc01/1657240214456-2ZMAJRW6EKLCZ7DL6VX7/The+Capuchin+Church+of+Santa+Maria+della+Concezione..PNG Great Burial Places gallery - CAPUCHIN CRYPT.
