premise: Huge representations of rulers like Ramses II illustrate the power held by the throne and by the cult of personality, though there are also tiny sculptures such as a bust of Queen Hatschepsut, which may have stood on a mantle or in a niche, showing that Egyptians were not just fixated by the epic and monumental.
hypothesis: Egyptians took great care to preserve their history, be it of epic depictions of Pharaohs, or small sculptures of less-powerful royalty.
