What in the name of the gods is that! This is one of the most obscure monuments you will ever see.

That it is the remains of a court tomb is fairly certain due to its north south alignment and style. All that now remains are two jambs (maybe the entrance) and a fine lintel.

The one jamb is beautifully veined with quartz.

A bizzarre oddity indeed.
