Connection: Palace Complex and The Hypostyle Hall

 The proportion of both locations is just mind-blowing. The Palace Complex is so large anyone can get lost in it. People believe it is the mythical labyrinth that no one can escape for the complexity and outstretched of the design. The Hypostyle Hall’s breathtakingly huge columns are known for their size and the amount of them in the sole acre. It is unimaginable to stand between two 20-meters columns and yet here it stands and survived throughout the centuries.
