Kokhim

Kokhim

Kokhim are a type of tomb characterized by a long narrow shaft, generally carved into a rock face, in which the deceased were placed for burial. They were usually closed with a stone slab and had channels cut into the center of the shaft to drain any water that seeped through the rock.
