A New Interpretation of the Grid System Reform in the Late Period
This paper offers a new art-historical interpretation of the grid reform of anthropomorphic representations in Egypt around the mid-seventh century BC. The objective of this paper is two-fold. First, it will demonstrate the problems with previous interpretations, which depended, on the one hand, upon the written record of Diodorus Siculus regarding the Egyptian method of statue production, and upon comparative analyses of the two-dimensional repr…
On the Art-Historical Meaning of the Grid Reform of Anthropomorphic Representations in Late Period Egypt
This paper offers a new art-historical meaning regarding the grid reform of anthropomorphic representations that took place in Egypt around the mid-seventh century BC.

First, it is to demonstrate the problems with previous interpretations, which depended, on the one hand, upon the written record of Diodorus Siculus on the Egyptian method of statue production, and upon comparative analyses of the two-dimens…
The Egyptian Metrological System of the Greco-Roman Period as Seen in Archaeological and Textual Evidence
This paper elucidates the Egyptian metrological system of the Greco-Roman Period by analyzing a set of archaeological and textual evidence such as cubit-rods, nilometers, building inscriptions, mathematical treatises, and property contracts, which provide information not only about the nomenclature and the length of the units and their subdivisions, but also about the metrical relationship between them. Concerning the nomenclature of the cubit, t…
On the Relationship Between the Architectural Philosophy in Vitruvius' “De Architectura” and the Surrounding Architectural Cultures
The architectural treatise “De Architectura”, written around 20 BC by the roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, is the most recognized and analyzed architectural treatise in the history of mankind. Particularly in the Renaissance period, the Italian artists have shown great interest in Vitruvian treatise, upon which they have based their own architectural treatise. Through the Renaissance recognition of Vitruvian architectural theory, the Euro…
A Reassessment of the “Ghurob Shrine Papyrus”
This article reexamines a pair of elevation drawings of an Ancient Egyptian shrine preserved at the Petrie Museum of the University College London, which is known as the “Ghurob Shrine Papyrus”. The physical characteristics of two sheets of papyrus show the following striking similarities: Both are about one royal cubit wide, both were drawn over a grid of 14 squares wide of the same dimensions, and the vertical lines of the grid at the bottom ed…
Some Remarks on the Palm Columns from the Pronaos of Herakleopolis Magna
The palm columns from the pronaos of Herakleopolis Magna reveal several aspects of Ramesside architecture: traces of the effaced inscription panel on the shafts confirm earlier hypotheses that the columns were usurped by Ramesses II; discrepancies in the craftsmanship between the column groups of the east and the west halves of the pronaos indicate that these occurred accidentally through the miscommunication of two groups of workmen. It is also …
Bemerkungen zu zwei usurpierten Säulen aus der Zeit Merenptahs
Two examples of reused granite columns are discussed, displaying a variety of techniques of reuse in the Ramessid Period. One column, found at Tell El Yahûdîyeh, has been misinterpreted since the end of the Nineteenth Century. The other shows a unique formulation of a monolithic column into a sculpture, in which the monolithic granite column was eventually turned upside down to produce a larger naophorus statue out of the ‘entasis’ of the six-ste…
