Alexandria - Catacombs of Kom el-Shukafa Sepulchral Chapel

From the rotunda a staircase continues down and then divides: from this point there is a view of the main burial chambers. At the foot of the stairs is the entrance to the Sepulchral Chapel, with three niches containing sarcophagi. In the central niche the mummy lies on a bier, surrounded by the three gods of the Underworld, Horus, Thoth and Anubis. Round the sepulchral chapel runs a gallery, entered from the vestibule to the chapel, containing 91 loculi, each large enough to accommodate at least three or four mummies.
