from AEL :

Hey, Guys;

On p. 24, Allen adds:

The governing principles visible in the layout of Unis's texts suggest the presence of two underlying considerations. The right-to-left order of most walls reflects the normal direction of Egyptian writing--in this case, presumably that of the scrolls from which Unis's text were copied onto the walls. The orientation of the hieroglyphs is determined in turn by that of the text columns. In neither case does orientation toward the sarcophagus appear to be the governing factor: if this were so, we should expect all the east and west walls to have the same orientation. The king's body, however, does seem to motivate the progression of the texts outwards from the sarcophagus chamber. This principle, like the dominant west-east axiality of the substructure, reflects the king's viewpoint: the texts read in the order he would find them in moving from the sarcophagus out of the tomb.

I don't know if anyone else had a problem opening download.htm, but once I changed the extension to .pdf, it opened up fine.

Sincerely,

Bob
