Figure 42. A projection of the possible arrangement east of the GIII.VT and <strong>KKT</strong>. <strong>The</strong> GIII.VT, measured off the geo-referenced<br />
1:1,000 map, is 51 m wide, north to south. <strong>The</strong> angle of the northern Ante-town would place its northern face 52 m (100 cubits)<br />
from the northern wall of the GIII.VT causeway if both walls are projected about 50 m east, roughly parallel to the southern<br />
wall of the <strong>KKT</strong> foot. Hassan’s map of the eastern <strong>KKT</strong> enclosure wall shows a turn to the east. If projected, the distance from<br />
the northern face of this wall is 52 m from the northern face of the eastward extension of the northern enclosure wall of the<br />
<strong>KKT</strong>. <strong>The</strong> GIII.VT would fit within this space, which contains what remains of a mudbrick building, possibly the Valley Temple of<br />
Queen <strong>Khentkawes</strong>. Drawing after Hassan fig. 2, geo-referenced by C. Mazzucato.<br />
