Actually, when you talked about the extremely steep stairs leading up to the godheads, I was reminded of the stairs at Wat Arun - the Temple of the Dawn. When I visited it, I was literally crawling on all fours to get up to the last step and I was wondering how people managed to climb them and stay upright and it was some surprise to hear that actually having to crawl up those steps was a feature, not a bug.
