 This design was inspired by Hypostyle Hall Ramesseum, and those two sides at the end are from the
second design I made from the Composite Papyrus Capital. The elements of art that I used are harmony,
balance, and asymmetric design. I have to say that I was imagining before starting to do this that those
triangular curved shapes were represented as villages and those behind them resembled towers.
