In the Western Desert of Egypt, some twenty miles from the nearest road, you come across solitary tombs of stone, much weathered by the wind. Some are buried in the sand. They may be 3,000 or even 4,000 years old and testify to the veneration once felt for men of outstanding virtue or generosity or heroism by their younger contemporaries, who built the tombs to mark their respect and perpetuate the memory of the dead. The names have long since been obliterated by time and weather, but a certain sanctity hovers around the spot still.
