This paper proposes a parametric shape grammar for ancient Egyptian funerary monuments. The corpus of monuments includes ten rock-cut structures, duly documented. They exhibit different grades of completion and preservation and possess variant archaeological documentation. The generation of a design following the proposed grammar depends both on formal and functional aspects. Metadata indicates the evidential value and numerical occurrence of rules in the generation of designs. The developed grammar can be used to reconstruct unfinished tombs, extend an existing one, or generate new designs according to the rules. It denotes the linear and symmetric structure characteristic of the monuments and reflects the chronological sequence of construction. The proposed grammar encodes the typology of the studied monuments and suggests that ancient Egyptian architecture may have implied a clear set of canons that may be made explicit by developing additional grammars for other building types.

形状语法作为古埃及葬礼纪念碑的类型学定义工具

本文提出了古埃及墓葬纪念碑的参数形状语法。纪念碑的语料库包括十个岩石切割结构，并有正式记录。它们展示了不同等级的完成和保存，并拥有不同的考古文件。按照建议的语法生成设计取决于形式和功能方面。元数据表示设计生成中规则的证据价值和数字出现。开发的语法可用于重建未完成的坟墓，扩展现有的坟墓，或根据规则生成新的设计。它表示古迹的线性和对称结构特征，反映了建造的时间顺序。
