Just starting to explore the world of architectural shooting...I was struck by how this entryway resembled the entrances found around the pyramids in Eqypt.
Chris, Narrow stone passageways are a hallmark of many defensive fortifications though out history. Likely, this sense is evoked just by glancing at your picture. If one has actually visited and walked through the Zimbabwe ruins or the remnants of the many layers of the famous city of Troy, in ancient Greece, (now western Turkey), or if one is familiar with the steel sculpture of
Richard Serra, then one has behind one's mind a fabric of ideas which really easily support the idea that this is an entrance to a very great and humbling experience.

I like your reference to ancient Egypt. they were master craftsman in building massive passageways and fortifications. In fact, this is an excuse to learn of the greatest of secret passages, the entrance to
Rameses the third's treasure house!
