History
The First Sultan built his own tomb with the intent of preserving his memory and reminding the people of who they are. He built each monolith to represent a different sphinx and made the central statue a close representation of his likeness. Upon his death, he was brought there by only two of his most trusted servants who never left the tomb after bringing him to the chamber.
