Isometric perspective is a form of orthographic perspective. "In some English literature, axonometric [and isometric] projection is considered a sub-class of orthographic projection". "The three types of axonometric projection are isometric projection, dimetric projection, and trimetric projection, depending on the exact angle at which the view deviates from the orthogonal."

Here, in the Dictionary of Architecture and Building Construction it says:

Quote

Orthographic projection a drawing which shows a surface or section drawn at scale as if from infinity, at right angles to the cutting plane or elevation; in architectural drawing the result is a plan, elevation, or sectional drawing, though sometimes extended to include true anoxometric projections; also called orthogonal projection.

Which under the heading we find, of course, the sub heading orthorgraphic isometric projection.

Anoxometric projection, though technically not "exactly" the same, is also synonymous with isometric projection.

"Perspective on the left, Orthographic on the right"

I don't care if they are in "error" as it is rather meaningless to the overall point now isn't it, unless the point is "THANOS IS WRONG", which in reference to its colloquial usage in Asian art, I am not, as right or wrong, the term is used by some synonomously in regards to Asian art regardless of its technical definition as it applies to engineering.

And Origyptian, will you please stop quoting yourself ad nauseum day after day that "we have no idea" how old any of the monuments or statuary are? You are in error. Or that we have "no idea" what species of human they were or if they were even human at all? You are in error. Or that the AE were so primitive they could not even understand the great pyramids were artificial? You are in error. So on and so forth.

They aren't. This was never the point, but rather the opposite as this kind of perspective is not found until much later. Jon, for whatever reason, thinks himself clever to keep repeating the same straw man question over and over again asking if the AE used any type of perspective beyond layered perspective, yet this is art history 101, and even if one knew nothing of AE art or art history in general, a cursory search would easily show the AE, like all ancient cultures before the Greeks and Romans, who still continued to use layered perspective regardless, did not use linear perspective which was not technically invented until the 15th century. Yet Jon keeps posing this question over and over despite the fact, being a lettered art expert should know better than anyone, it will not be found? I have a good idea why, but we will wait with baited breath for the big "reveal" if it ever comes.

And Origyptian, why so mum on this: HERE.

I'd really like to hear your thoughts on that.
