Purpose / Function

An ancient Kang chamber tomb quarried from a lonely limestone outcrop that is the final resting place for an unknown ancestor.

Design

The shape of the internal chambers is that of a rounded hut with a triangular ceiling. The walls are decorated with raised reliefs depicting magical and religious symbols such as spirals, zig-zag motifs and bihorn horns.

Entries

Carved Doors

While the blocky shaped tomb is huge, its double entrances are small. A person would need to squat in order to climb inside to an empty chamber and face another door with a fallen standing stone at the outside.
The tomb is aligned to the summer solstice, when at sunset, the inside is luminated with glossy and ghostly scenes of the past.

Sensory & Appearance

Rainbow Sparkles

While the exterior may have originally been stark white, the advent of the star impacts transformed it into glass.
The subsequent fractal pits and rises of glass gives the impression of glittering images that move as one walks around it and according to the position of the sun.

Denizens

Corpse

A skeleton painted with red ochre, like the tomb's walls, was buried together with common life objects, jewels and tools under shells of molluscs. It had long been removed and moved to the capital for noble viewing.

Contents & Furnishings

At different times of the day and year, the 20 feet tall tablet stones will come to life that some claim relay knowledge and wisdom held onto the stone. Knowledge that is fully controlled by the sun in the way its pictures moves and by the shadows it creates.

Environmental Effects

A layer of rainbow glass used to cake the surrounding top soil and fused into the building itself. 
But the horizontal sections were broken and removed for the sake of farming the soil beneath it.
