Answer 1

Hint: The tomb of the Egyptian Pharaoh bears testimony to the beliefs of the Egyptians about the preparations of the next world. Wherein, they believe that pharaohs were expected to become one with the gods and humans were promised continuing life.

Complete answer: Option A: Temple is a symbolic house for Hindus, which is designed like a structure to bring human beings and gods together. It is not the correct option.
Option B: The tomb of Tutankhamun, who was an Egyptian Pharaoh was one of the most fascinating discoveries made. The tombs of the Egyptian Pharaoh are known as The pyramids of Giza and Nile delta. During Egypt’s, the New Kingdom, the Pyramids became a royal burial ground for Pharaohs. These pyramids were well stocked with all the material goods a ruler might need in the next world like a mirror, golden mask etc. Pyramids in Egypt are ancient triangle-shaped structures. Mastabas are bench-like structures where Egyptians with sufficient resources were buried. The pyramid builders used to inscribe on the walls of the burial chambers, about the King’s reign and accounts of important events.
Throughout the fifth and sixth dynasties, the construction of pyramids declined along with authority and wealth.
Option C: Palace can be referred to a grand structure which is the official residence of a ruler, pope or someone in immense power. It is the wrong option.
Option D: Calan is the incorrect option.
Therefore, option B is correct.

Note: Many pyramids are in a poor state of preservation, they might appear as little more than mounds of rubble as they are buried by sand deserts and are stripped of their limestone coverings. They have been looted and robbed of their funeral goods and most of the bodies.
