來自希臘語Mausoleion,大型墳墓，來自Mausolos,小亞細亞古國Caria國王，在他死后，其王后Artemisia為他修建了大型的陵寢，并被評為古代世界七大奇跡之一，其名字就成為大型陵墓的代稱。但其遺址不幸毀于公元三世紀的一次地震。

mausoleum

mausoleum: [16] The original mausoleum was a vast marble tomb (one of the seven wonders of the ancient world) erected in 353 BC for Mausolus, king of Caria in Asia Minor by his widow Artemisia. Its architect was Pythius, and its site was at Halicarnassus (now Bodrum in Turkey). Its Greek name was mausōleion, and it passed into English as a generic term for a ‘large tomb’ via Latin mausōlēum.
