HOW CAN SITES IN ANCIENT EGYPT

PROVIDE BETTER WHEELCHAIR ACCESS THAN
21ST CENTURY DESIGN IN THE U.S.?
The image is of the walkway leading to the ancient step pyramid in Saqqara, south of Cairo.

Barrier-free, wide, smooth causeway over the sand to the ancient Pyramid of Djoser. 

The site has far superior wheelchair access -- in ancient Egypt -- than the broken, narrow, viciously-sloping sidewalks that torture people with disabilities in most U.S. cities. 

Shame on designers in the U.S. for continuing to create barriers and brand-new construction.
