Naming Inspiration

The name "Digital Mastaba" comes from the ancient egyption architectural feature that our structure resembles. Meaning "House for Eternity" the truncated pyramids served as burial structures, transporting the pharaos to the afterlife. They were subended with tunnels going down into the ground which contained the actual tombs. Our project envokes many of the same ideas and themes, in addition to the physical likeness. It is this discourse that we hoped to jump into, and base the project off of.
