Is it a situation of life or death? Cuz you know, if Agrippa comes on and tells you, he might have to kill you afterwards since it's an ancient secret only passed on from father to fifth-born son born out of wedlock (via C-section, mind you) with an Atlantis woman.

Sooooooooooooo I dunno....

'Nasals' is a French word for 'brick'. I guess your answer would lay within whatever brick was used to build the steeple in question.

"Steeple-shaped" or "tower-shaped" are terms that forensic anthropologists sometimes use to generically describe the morphology of the Caucasoid's nasal bones. Some Native North Americans share this morphology.

Below is a Nasal Anatomy diagram:

Below are some links to PDF documents related to the distinguishing of races based on cranial morphology:
