As such, it was used in many writings and monuments to represent a strong and lasting thing. One use of the Djed symbol was in mausoleums. Large structures were built as tombs for wealthy people as an indication of their wealth and status. The Djed symbol was commonly placed above the entrances to these tombs. These were buildings that were meant to last, so the Djed symbol was used to represent the enduring strength of the structure.
