Grandeur

Low angle perspective looking upwards along the wall and towards the ceiling, emphasizing the grandeur and height of the reliefs and incised hieroglyphs carved into the stone walls.

 

Above the walls, a vibrant blue ceiling with horizontal bands, represent a starry blue sky. The blue paint shows signs of age and wear. The vibrant 'Egyptian blue', the first synthetic pigment created by humans symbolized the sky and the primordial waters of creation, crucial elements in Egyptian cosmology. .
