Fakhrigah

The facade has been built on a completely smooth rock wall, with an average height of 4.70 meters and the same width. The columned porch is surrounded by an engraved frame, the band of which is 22 cm wide and which ends on both sides with two stepped platforms of the front porch. The frame is shaped into pillars on either side, a flat portal above and a threshold below. The two facade columns are almost of the same shape, and their capitals appear to be composed of simple square or rectangular shapes. The conic pedestals of the two front columns are at the same level as the threshold of the front porch, but on a different floor level from the main porch.

Behind the front row of columns lies an almost rectangular porch, with a width of 6.25 meters in the centre and a depth of 2.82 meters.

In 1896 Jacques de Morgan made an overall plan of the tomb, including precise detail of the interior and columns, with a copy of the inscriptions already mentioned by Rawlinson, which he subsequently published. The explorer C. F. Leman measured the tomb with precision. Hertzfeld, relying on these sketches, prepared plans and sketches that were also reliable and were used as the basis of all subsequent rock studies. In 1936 Aurel Stein wrote about the tomb and defensive constructions further along, and Wolfram Kleiss prepared sketches of the tombs.
