Country: Egypt

City: Cairo

Accession No.:7.344

Date: April 27, 1920

Photographer: George R. Swain

Caption: Dimay. Building of white brick, horizontal courses, depressed toward middle. Man standing by corner. The depression of courses might be explained by building over a sewer or hollow place in the ground. Dr. Askren says that it is due to laying the first course on uneven ground, without taking pains to level up before starting the wall.
