| Sumario: | The royal architecture of Ancient Egypt evolved into an obviously aesthetic way all through its history: from the primitive royal tombs at Umm el-Qa'ab through the pyramids of the Old Kingdom and the great temples of the Middle Kingdom to the Ptolemaic temples built along the Nile bank. The present paper pretends to expose the systematic use of a geometrical pattern, emerged during the Thinite Age and Old Kingdom, to design and define the main proportions of the royal architecture of the Middle Kingdom. |
