I often wondered why the egyptian pharaohs enforced the policy that all hieroglyphics of people must be drawn facing sideways ….did they not understand how to draw with depth of perception ? Their architecture shows that surely they did, so then why …..but as i climbed the narrow steps of the pyramid …i had a Eureeeka moment midway up…..surely I may have solved the mystery…..here it is……because the pyramids are sooo steep….if one is climbing upwards….your ass is in the face of those below and it does not cut an attractive silhouette..therefor…. the only way to look elegant or powerful walking up a pyramid is to turn to the side and ascend sideways…..as if you are vogueing your way up …and this is also why the steps are so narrow…..it’s not that their feet were smaller but…….to walk up a pyramid youve got to walk with your feet turned the same way as the figures in the hieroglyphics and do it like Willi Ninja…..and vogue. solved! ok next mystery….who broke all those noses off the egyptian figurines ? -Lady Miss Kier
