Ein sogenanntes Tholos-Grab liegt etwas abseits des Palastes; ein kuppelförmiges Bauwerk aus der mykenischen Epoche um 1500 v. Chr. Das Kraggewölbe besteht aus exakt behauenen Steinen, die sich nach oben hin schließen und ohne Mörtel stabil halten. Der Eingang war einst mit einer Steinplatte verschlossen und führt in eine runde Kammer.

Pyramid in Rapa, Poland

It is a unique tomb of the Prussian baronial family von Fahrenheid, built in the early 19th century, probably in 1811, although some sources suggest earlier dates such as 1795 or 1808. It is located in the Masurian village of Rapa, on marshy terrain, where a special embankment was constructed leading to the pyramid. The structure is modeled after Egyptian pyramids, visible in its shape and the precise angle of the walls’ slope (51°52’), identical to that of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The pyramid is about 16 meters high, with a square base measuring 10.4 meters on each side.

The initiator and patron of the pyramid was Baron Friedrich Heinrich von Fahrenheid, a passionate admirer of ancient Egypt and an art patron, who, fascinated by Egyptian culture and the idea of life after death, decided to build a mausoleum for his family. The first person buried in the pyramid was his three-year-old daughter Ninette, who died of scarlet fever in 1811. Her body was carefully embalmed, and the tomb was designed to promote mummification, which actually took place—the coffins of seven family members, including Friedrich himself, have been preserved in remarkably good condition.

The Pyramid in Rapa gradually fell into oblivion at the end of the 19th century after the estate was taken over by another family. During both world wars, the tomb was repeatedly vandalized by soldiers searching for valuables. After the wars, the site suffered from vandalism and even local tourists disturbed the coffins. It was only in the 21st century that local authorities secured the entrance to the pyramid. Today, it is one of the most enigmatic buildings in the Masurian region, attracting interest due to its unique character and mysterious history.

Palermos Catacombe dei Cappuccini entstand im 16. Jhd als unterirdische Gruft für die mumifizierten Leichname der Kapuzinerbrüder. Bald durften auch wohlhabende Palermitaner ihre Verstorbenen hier bestatten, was zu einer Sammlung von über 8000 Mumien führte, die bis 1920 genutzt wurde. Die Körper wurden mit Kalk, Essig und Wein konserviert und in Alltagskleidung der Epoche drapiert, was einen eigentümlichen Einblick in die historische Trauerkultur bietet.
