The walls of polished sandstone and the powerful stone pier to your
northwest form this sharp angled hallway.  As you gaze further down the
northern corridor you notice the magnificent wall paintings that alternate
with the illuminating windows on the eastern wall.  The great variety,
complexity and sophistication of such a hallway is far beyond anything you
have ever seen.  To you southeast is a spiral staircase leading up the
towering southeast minaret.
