Detailed explanation-1: -Ancient Egyptian wall paintings provide a fascinating glimpse into the past. In tombs it was the painter’s task to preserve the dead individual’s spirit. Most tomb art generally followed consistent rules and held special meaning to the ancient Egyptians.

Detailed explanation-2: -Archaeologists discovered that banqueting was a common theme in the objects and wall paintings in these tombs. This installation includes eating and drinking vessels made of bucchero, a black glossy ceramic originating in Etruria that was fired in kilns and was left unpainted and unglazed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Etruscan tombs, in both their construction and contents, prove that the Etruscans conceived of the afterlife as an extension of actual life. The tomb often replicates a domestic interior, filled with all the objects the deceased would need, like personal adornments, games, banqueting wares, and even food.

Detailed explanation-4: -A serdab (Persian: ), literally meaning “cold water", which became a loanword in Arabic for ‘cellar’ is an ancient Egyptian tomb structure that served as a chamber for the Ka statue of a deceased individual.
