This is a representation of how Egyptian artists dealt with the problems of rendering a three-dimensional structure like the temple sanctuary onto the two-dimensional surface of a stone block. As you can see, the artist has chosen to portray the walls of the sanctuary from an aerial perspective but the doorways and pylons using a frontal perspective. Another way to look at the rendering of the pylons and doorways is to imagine that they were knocked flat over. There are other choices made by the ancient artist that seem odd to the modern viewer. For example, there is a group of four columns on either side of the main entryway. They are shown in this example as being two columns on top of two columns. If taken literally, this evidence would seem to indicate a two-tiered arrangement of columns. However, not only is this without precedent in Egyptian temple architecture, but like the combination of aerial walls and frontal doors, the column groups are not shown in a single perspective view. Instead it appears that the columns were knocked over like the pylons without overlap between the columns.      Apparently, the tomb representations of the sanctuary cannot be used as an exact floorplan, but used in a more general manner, they can provide corroborate archaeological evidence as well as offer insight into how the sanctuary was used in ancient Egypt. For instance, the altars are shown piled high with offerings of all sorts, though not all of the individual offerings can be identified. Musicians are shown playing harp-like instruments and two men are humbly presenting offerings. Though not shown to scale, the artist gives us insight into what was going on in the temple sanctuary itself. There are two further things to note in this particular tomb relief. The first is the 'storeroom' on the left hand side of the relief. Both the Pendlebury/Lavers and Kemp reports and plan do not note this room, but I have taken it as a representation of the room in the lower-left corner of my reconstruction. The last point of note here is the strange object to the right of the 'storeroom'. Is this a depiction of the square platform which stood in the rear enclosure of the sanctuary or is it showing the stela benben-stone that was on a platform outside the sanctuary proper. Often, it seems that the Egyptian renderings of the sanctuary raise as many questions as they answer, but in doing so, they are a useful aid to the archaeologist of Amarna.
