This is a snapshot from MeshLab. The image shows the mesh (rendered frames) of the 3D model created for the purpose of the 3D documentation of Tomb 4 located in the archaeological site of Tombs of the Kings in Paphos. Similar to most of the tombs of this site, Tomb 4 is characterised by an underground, open aired, peristyled rectangular atrium completely carved into the natural rock. Columns or pillars of the Doric style supported the porticoes, which surrounded the atrium. The burial chambers and the loculi for single burials were dug into the portico walls. It seems that the walls were originally covered with frescoes although today only small fragments are preserved. The tombs' architectural characteristics directly relate them to Hellenistic prototypes from Alexandria, Delos, Pergamon and Priene.
