In the lower floor of the Rosicrucian Eygptian Muesum in San Jose, is a tomb replica.
The tomb replica is based on actual examples at Beni Hasan, Egypt. An important site in Egypt with many tombs from 3,000 - 4,000 years ago.

The tomb is modeled on the Khnum-hotep tomb (2066 - 1650 BCE). The reproductions were created from photographs and measurments taken during the 1939 Rosicrucian Expedition.
