Yea, could've been a daddy, maybe just some person who didn't have kids. Who's to say.

Families come in all shapes and sizes, even for the ancient Egyptians!

I was just thinking this, do we regularly breaking into tombs in the rest of the world? I guess some of the cathedrals themselves are tombs and are big tourist attractions.

There is a park in my city that used to be the city cemetery. They moved the cemetery to a new place due to capacity and turned the original one into a park. I think it is a very common practice.
