This is true. Once you get home, you'll have to go back and check out the pictures on your main computer.
Which queens tomb does that depict? I remember that structure being a queens tomb from the valley of the kings
I'll have to look it up but IIRC I have seen columns like these. ...Not sure if those were Egyptian though...
Here they are, those are typical Egyptian column shapes. As you can see #2 is pretty thin at the top so it isn't unheard of.
Or perhaps the buildings they have built are so large that much of the sunlight is blocked at certain times of the day.
