•  Info Interior of the temple of Nefertari, Abu Simbel, Egypt. The temple, also called Small Temple of Abu Simbel, was built about 100 m (330 ft) northeast of the temple of Ramesses II and was dedicated to the goddess Hathor and Ramesses II's chief consort, Nefertari. This was in fact the second time in ancient Egyptian history that a temple was dedicated to a queen. The first time, Akhenaten dedicated a temple to his great royal wife, Nefertiti. As in the larger temple dedicated to the king, the hypostyle hall in the smaller temple is supported by six pillars; in this case, however, they are not Osiris pillars depicting the king, but are decorated with scenes with the queen playing the sistrum (an instrument sacred to the goddess Hathor), together with the gods Horus, Khnum, Khonsu, and Thoth, and the goddesses Hathor, Isis, Maat, Mut of Asher, Satis and Taweret The capitals of the pillars bear the face of the goddess Hathor; this type of column is known as Hathoric. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 10:19, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

•  Question Nice room but the photograph is not horizontal. Why are the stairs tilted ? -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:22, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

• True, will upload a corrected version this evening CET Poco a poco (talk) 08:22, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

• Looking forward to seeing this new version, I may support once it's done -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:48, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

  I don't think it will be a straightforward fix. AFAICT the room lacks symmetry and Poco stood half-way between each row of columns, which IMO is the best compromise. The "tilted" stairs are because the far wall is not perpendicular to viewing axis. And since I'm here :  Support - Benh (talk) 07:23, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

• Sorry, I didn't manage it yesterday and will not be until tomorrow afternoon that I can export a new version. I ask for a bit more of patience. Poco a poco (talk) 09:04, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

• Basile Morin: New version uploaded where I applied a tilt and perspective correction, FYI, too Benh Poco a poco (talk) 17:26, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Thanks. Yes, I find this perspective improved. Captivating interior -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:57, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
•  Support I agree. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:11, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

I'm afraid I'm begging to differ. Now the right columns are leaning right. The first version is better in my opinion. Rather have the back wall leaning backward on the right side than columns leaning toward outside of the frame. - Benh (talk) 14:05, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Benh: I tried something out, is it better now? --Poco a poco (talk) 20:05, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

This seems like the best version in terms of overall appearance, except that I wonder why you darkened it between the first and second versions. It's not a voting issue for me; I just wonder. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:26, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Ikan Kekek, yes, I darkened it a bit because in the last rework I realized that it was actually too bright for a room without lighting and only a small door from where the light comes in. I would have usually reduced the exposure a bit more but I didn't want to make it a relevant issue to have to inform everybody here. Poco a poco (talk) 07:28, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

I'd like to see the exposure you think is most true. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:12, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Here you are, Ikan Kekek. But I understand that so much darkening would have required a new nom or at least informing everybody here --Poco a poco (talk) 18:37, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. I'd support it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:47, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
