Tomb Antechamber

This rectangular room is sparse with the exception of the stone round door on the opposite end. The walls still have a few specks of paint on the sunken-relief engravings relating to the journey to heaven. All the walls are covered in plaster, where Old Westerling words are written. The words speak of Ebrahim, military commander of the Hyborian garrison stationed in Wati. Given the timeframe of his death, Ebrahim would have been here a decade or two after the fall of the last pharaoh. The style is an interesting blending of Hyborian and Khemit burial practices. As an example. looking at the corners are four small stone faces fixed to each of the corners at shoulder height. two appears as that of a Jackal, the other pair a man. There is a river going towards a field of reeds (No Tower). On the river is a boat being driven by assumed Ades as the symbol of the Tower is on the round door at the other end. Closer observation of the faces show that they are hollow containing a wad of material smelling like pitch. Igniting the material, illuminates the room and crowns the faces in regal flames. An additional warning is on the wheel in Old Khemitian this time, “The only thing the Darkness Visible despises more than the grave robber is the unsuccessful grave robber. turn back while you can.” The stone wheel is 6 feet in diameter and 6 inches wide.it is in a groove, which appears to have been rolled into place after final construction. The wheel is far too heavy to roll back into a closed position by itself, but pitons or other similar tools can wedge it into either an open or closed position. Behind the wheel, is a 8 foot wide passage descending into the darkness. Note that the wheel, when moved, only gives a 3 foot doorway from the Antechamber.
