It is sixty-five feet up to the top of those spreading capitals, and it would take six men with outstretched arms to span one of the sculptured shafts. In 1899 eleven columns in this hall fell owing to age and insecurity the foundations.' Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted.
