The World of the Papyrus of Ani
An interpretive model built from Budge's 1895 text. Unit: the royal cubit. Every feature is in the ledger.
500 cubits · 262 m
1 royal cubit = 0.523 m · at the point of focus · "measures" (Aat IV, pylon IX) are not converted
Claim: this is what the text of one papyrus describes, placed along the sun's path. Model: silhouettes keyed to the text's head and implement; dimensions in cubits where the text gives them. Caveat: the arrangement is editorial, the spacing is invention, and the papyrus never draws one map.
