Zitat:
Im Übrigen zeigt die Wandekoration im Großen Hypostyl des Karnak-Tempels, dass von oben nach unten gearbeitet wurde - oben sind noch die Bezüge zu Sethos I. vorhanden, der das Hypostyl wohl begonnen hat, unten findet man Ramses II., der die Dekoaration vollendet hat. |

Ups, Iufaa das kenn ich nun aber ganz anders: 
By following the historical chronology of the inscriptions, we can see that scaffolds must have been used. In the Karnak Hypostyle Hall, we know that Seti I carved his inscriptions first and that Ramesses II's reliefs are later, after Seti had died. If the old theory was true, then Seti's inscriptions should be found on the upper half of all the walls and columns, with Ramesses II's being on the lower half. This is not what we see. Seti's reliefs are found in the northern wing of the Hall with some in the northern part of the south wing. Ramesses II's reliefs are all in the south wing. Each king's reliefs are found from the base of the walls and columns to the top. The only way to explain this is if they used scaffolds. The only part of the Hall to be decorated before the construction rams were dismantled was the clerestory. Since the clerestory was 24 meters (80 ft) off the ground, it made sense to inscribe it while the embankments provided a convenient way to reach it. After that, scaffolding was used to decorate the columns, and again when Ramesses II later changed the decoration of the clerestory-- unless you believe he buried the whole building just to change some inscriptions!
