Art/Literary - Architecture / Royal Egyptian Tombs | | Italian term or phrase: recinto in valle | Contesto:
"Il complesso della Piramide a gradoni di Djoser costituisce un importante passo avanti nell'architettura funeraria regia. Questo re e il suo architteto, Imhotep, unirono i due elementi dei primi complessi dinastici, la tomba e il **recinto in valle,** in un complesso monumentale e sostituirono il mattone crudo e i materiali deperibili con la pietra.
It isn't clear to me whether the writer means "valley enclosure," or "downhill enclosure."
Grazie,
femme |

i.e. recinto = funerary enclosure here, so "funerary enclosure in the valley" |
