Ancient Egyptian architecture was vital to their civilization. They constructed massive temples, like the Temple of Luxor and Temple of Ramses II, to honor their gods. They also built elaborate tombs, such as the Tombs of Meresankh and the Tegran Tomb, to prepare royalty for the afterlife. The Egyptians commonly used carved limestone and mud bricks in their architecture, seen on temples, statues, and tombs.Ancient Egyptian architecture

Ancient Egyptian architecture had some consistent characteristics. Massive stone structures like temples and tombs were favored after the Old Kingdom. Mud bricks were commonly used for houses while stone was used for more permanent religious buildings. Columns were designed to mimic plant structures and corner details replicated binding reeds. Funerary structures evolved from mastaba tombs to step pyramids like Zoser's and finally the iconic Great Pyramids at Giza, which marked a transition to rock-cut tombs in places like the Valley of the Kings. Temples followed a structured layout and carefully controlled light using columns, windows and shadow effects.Seven wonders of world

Egyptian architecture features pyramids and temples. The first pyramid was built for King Zoser at Saqqara, while the most famous is the Great Pyramid of Giza constructed for King Khufu, standing over 480 feet tall. Temples were considered homes for gods and only priests could enter the inner chambers, while courtyards were occasionally open to the public. Each temple housed a statue of its dedicated deity.Old Kingdom Egypt: Royal Tombs

The ancient Egyptians placed great importance on burial and the afterlife. Royal tombs evolved over time from simple pit tombs to large pyramid complexes. The Egyptians mummified the dead and included canopic jars, coffins, and funerary items to protect the soul's journey to the afterlife. Statues of the pharaoh were also made to provide the soul a place to inhabit if the mummification failed.Luxor temple

The Luxor Temple in Egypt was constructed over many decades by multiple pharaohs. Work began under Pharaoh Amenhotep III in 1390 BC and was later expanded by rulers such as Rameses II and Alexander the Great. The long construction period and additions from different leaders over time make Luxor Temple historically significant.
The temple has a rectangular shape built from stone with flat roofs supported by columns. Notable features include hundreds of human-headed statues lining the entrance and columns in the shape of papyrus buds. Wall carvings provide valuable historic context, such as scenes of military victories.

The three major Bronze Age civilizations in the Aegean region were the Cycladic civilization based on the Cyclades islands, the Minoan civilization centered on Crete, and the Mycenaean civilization on the Greek mainland. The Minoans built impressive palaces like Knossos with its central courtyard and frescoes, suggesting an advanced society with prominent female roles. However, Minoan culture declined around 1450 BCE while the Mycenaeans erected fortified hilltop citadels and tombs containing rich artifacts. These civilizations preceded Archaic Greece and influenced later Greek culture, architecture, and religion.ARTID111 Prehistoric Aegean Art

The Acropolis of Athens is a rocky hill 156 meters above sea level that was inhabited as early as the 3rd millennium BC. It has the shape of a trapezoid up to 150 meters wide, accessible only from the west.

Egyptians also had a strong cult of the dead and belief in the afterlife, as evidenced by practices like mummification and the construction of pyramids and the Book of the Dead to guide souls in the afterlife.
