The Catacombs of Kom el-Shuqafa in Alexandria

 The loculi on the first and second underground levels were created after the principal tomb was completed, but at an uncertain date.20 Many loculi have depressions in the ground that loosely mimic the shape of the human body with a space for the head  This suggests inhumation burial rather than cremation. More than 300 people were buried in the loculi of the second underground level.21 Additionally, multiple people were often stacked in each loculus
