Until the end of the 1st dynasty, it would seem to have been a tradition that the family and court of the king committed suicide (or were killed) and were then buried alongside the ruler in his necropolis.
Sampai akhir dinasti pertama, tampaknya sudah menjadi tradisi bahwa keluarga dan istana raja berkomitmen bunuh diri (atau terbunuh) dan kemudian dimakamkan di samping penguasa di nekropolisnya.
