"Morphing" from previously orienting the corners of structures to the cardinal points then abruptly beginning with Djoser's complex changing them to aligning the faces? Sorry, I fail to see your point as it would appear not to apply.

I'm afraid its a bit more nuanced than that: Troubles with the 2nd Dynasty.. For a start. While intimately familiar in some respects to previous Dynasties, Djoser's complex represents many departures from what came before which I would add to the list the orientation of the faces to the cardinal points instead of the corners. "Known world" indeed.
