But it is Time that we describe this Place, which is not only the greatest Curiosity of this Country, but would pass for a Piece of Magnificence in those Nations where Arts and Sciences are known, and it is fit to be the more particular in it, as it may appear strange, that those People who are Barbarians in all other Respects, should observe so much Pomp and Decoration in their funeral Ceremonies. This burying Place, which they call _Hoynatz_, is pleasantly situated in a beautiful Valley between two Hills, about two _English_ Miles from the City of _Magadoxa_; there are in it twenty nine _Moorzacks_, or Tombs, all which were first built by the Kings, at whose Expence the _Passaus_ or Guards are kept, their being four to each _Moorzack_, who watch two and two by Turns, who take Care of the Lamps, which continually burn within, and keep every Thing clean to the greatest Nicety. Tho' these _Moorzacks_ may be said properly all to belong to the King, yet several other Persons of the first Rank are buried in them, by the King's special Favour, for he sometimes gives a _Moorzack_ to some Favourite, as a burying Place for his Family; notwithstanding which Gift, when any of the said Family dies, the King's Permission must be asked anew for burying him in the _Moorzack_, the Reason is, that it frequently happens that when a Person who has this Kind of Right to be buried in a _Moorzack_ disobliges the King, he takes no Notice of it as long as the Party lives; but when he dies, he forbids him to be buried in the _Moorzack_, by way of Punishment. This may shew what a Veneration they have for these Places, when they seem to think that all Happiness, as well as Honour, consisted in laying the Body after Death in one of these _Moorzacks_; and, indeed, it is one of the chief Pleasures of the King, as well as of the common People to visit these Places often, which they do with a Kind of religious Respect. The largest _Moorzack_ or Tomb of all is the King's own, no other Person being ever buried therein; it is eighty Foot square, built of black and white Marble mix'd, with a Kind of Cupola at Top, and over it a long Spire, the Inside, both Floor and Sides, is white Marble curiously polished, and the Cieling or Cupola painted green: There are in it forty five _Boozes_ of Gold, standing on as many Pedestals of black Marble, of about four Foot high. A _Booze_ is a kind of round Pot with a Cover, about eight Inches deep, and five Diameter, in which are placed the Ashes of the Dead of those that are deposited there; I say the Ashes, because the Bodies are first burned. There are also sixteen large Lamps of Gold, with nine Lights to each, four in a Corner, and one large one in the Middle, with two Lights; the large ones are never lighted but at Funerals, when they make a fine Shew, but that in the Middle burns constantly.
