Question
Six men labor in a miniature one of these structures, while nine scribes write in an adjacent room, in a typical Egyptian wooden tomb model held at the Met. Words meaning “wall” and “room,” agadir and ghorfa, name the multi-storied examples of these structures attached to ksar citadels in North Africa. The ancient Chinese concept of cháng píng, or “ever-normal,” structures of this type, was adopted by Henry Wallace and supplemented by yearly loans under the New Policies of Wáng Ānshí. Next to (*) Mohenjo Daro’s bath complex stands a building that Mortimer Wheeler dubiously identified as a “great” one of these structures. A passage in Genesis in which these structures are built after a dream of seven lean cows prompted medieval writers to misidentify the Pyramids as these structures. For 10 points, name these often elevated and ventilated storehouses for threshed cereal crops. ■END■
