Abstract
This article reexamines a pair of elevation drawings of an Ancient Egyptian shrine preserved at the Petrie Museum of the University College London, which is known as the “Ghurob Shrine Papyrus”. The physical characteristics of two sheets of papyrus show the following striking similarities: Both are about one royal cubit wide, both were drawn over a grid of 14 squares wide of the same dimensions, and the vertical lines of the grid at the bottom edge of the drawing depicting the side view, continue from the top edge of that showing the front view. These characteristics confirm the previous assumption that the two sheets of drawings were originally a single sheet, the side view being at the top, and the front view being at the bottom.
