The form is that of a truncated cone, placed on a cylindrical base, 65 Meters in diameter. It is 20 Meters high. The columns encircling the cylindrical portion are stunted and much broader at the base than the top; the capitals are Doric.
Many of the columns, 60 in number, have been severeley damaged. When the sepulchral chamber was opened in 1873 by Bauchetet, a French engineer officer, clear evidence was found that at some remote period the tomb had been rifled and an attempt made to destroy it by fire.
