– Architectural Features
Exterior . ( Plates 1, 2 )
This tomb is hewn in the cliff, 60 yards or
thereabouts to the South of No. 4 ( Meryra ) . The rock here forms an
overhanging face about 30 feet high, and by cutting back the foot-slope on the
left hand a vertical wall 70 feet long and 15 feet high was gained for a façade
with but little labour .
