Page 167 - The picture (Plate II fig 1) shows incidentally how careful Egyptian artists followed nature sometimes, as in the extreme left of the picture, a fat man has been introduced, whose obesity is in sharp contrast with the spare bodies of his fellow workmen. “A point which as far as I know has escaped everybody’s attention is that giants were employed also (as well as main thrust of article achondroplastic dwarfs), for in the same tombs some men are depicted who were without doubt at least a foot taller tahn teir fellows. It may be that these men were simply Shillock slaves, but at any rate the point requires investigation.”
