This mysterious tomb in Rome looks so strange that even official historians cannot find a decent explanation for its extraordinary form.
It was found in the 19th century, when it was decided to remove medieval buildings in Porta Maggiore. Under one dismantled tower, there was a 13-meter-high Roman tomb. The inscription on it said that this was the grave of the baker Mark Virgil Euryzak. On the top of the tomb there are reliefs that depict the various stages of baking. However, what lies beneath them is still the subject of heated debate. In the lower tier of the table, there are straight vertical pipes, and above them there are the same even horizontal holes.
There are different versions of what these mysterious pipes and holes mean. Under one of them - they depict grain storage and elements of dough mixers. On the other hand, these are real dough mixers and a real elevator built into the tomb.
In any case, this ancient structure is clearly made with the help of some ancient mysterious tools. Perhaps, before becoming the tomb of Euryzak, this building was something else, and the inscription and bas-reliefs on it appeared only later.
By the way, the difference of this building from the later medieval buildings is very noticeable - it is made of a higher quality. Let me remind you that during the Chronoton expedition to Rome, we saw the same difference between the ancient pyramid of Cestius and the later wall of Aurelian.
