View: Saqqara to Dahshur

Abstract/Contents

Abstract

3D analysis of visibility with observer (1.6m tall, eye-height 1.5m) standing west of mastaba tomb S3075, looking toward Dahshur. Red color block shows that two of the Dynasty 4 monuments to the south were not visible from the observer point due to the obstruction of the step pyramid and its enclosure; the third was partly visible if the viewer walked west of the tomb. Analysis performed in CityEngine 2018.0.
