"It depicted figures with body parts in their most recognizable position."
The Egyptian Book of the Dead (and other Egyptian art) uses the "composite" or "profile/frontal" view — parts shown from the angle that makes them most recognizable (e.g., head and legs in profile, eye and shoulders shown frontally). It is a collection of funerary spells and illustrations to help the deceased in the afterlife, not biographies of tomb builders or pharaohs.
