At this stage, most of the elements are in place and some of the ramping has been removed. Although the workers appear to be moving the vault covers, it's doubtful they'll actually be closed permanently now. More likely, at a later time, the temporary graves will be moved, a ceremony will be held and the tombs will be sealed. (Press Freeman is at right. For a picture of him some 30 years later, click here.)
