This seems to have been far more than spatial disorientation.
Next issue for the investigators: is the CVR of this taxiing time going to be available to them? (which should be the reason why their take-off should also have been cancelled).
I don’t brief taxi routes for this exact reason. I’m betting the report will include an element of expectation bias.
