The document discusses the construction of pyramids in ancient Egypt. It describes how the pyramids were built as tombs for pharaohs over 4,000 years ago. Workers transported heavy stone blocks from quarries along the Nile River using sleds pulled by animals or boats. The pyramids were precisely constructed with structures like walls, burial chambers and temples. The largest pyramid was the Great Pyramid of Giza built for the pharaoh Khufu, standing at 482 feet tall. The Bent Pyramid has an unusual shape that changes angles during construction. The Great Sphinx statue also guards the Giza plateau.

Persian architecture
The architecture of Persians was more columnar and that led to vastly different massive architectural features from that of the Mesopotamian era.
Pps delz@-forbidden city-reissue 2011
The Forbidden City was the imperial palace of China from the mid-Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. Located in Beijing, it covers 720,000 square meters and has 980 surviving buildings. Construction began in 1407 and was completed by 1420, using over one million workers. For over 500 years, it served as the home for emperors and the political center of China, housing the largest government on Earth. Now a museum, it is considered the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.
Persepolis
1. Persepolis was the capital city of the Persian Empire built by Darius I in 518 BCE. It featured extensive stone columns and architectural influences from cultures across the empire.
2. The city included grand palaces and halls like the Apadana, Treasury, and Hall of 100 Columns, which were used for receiving tribute and storing wealth.
3. Later kings like Xerxes and Artaxerxes expanded the city with additions like the Gate of All Nations and new palaces and halls. At its height, Persepolis displayed the riches and power of the massive Persian Empire.
Greek architecture
Greek architecture progressed through three main periods - Early, Classical, and Hellenistic. Early architecture was rough with different masonry styles. Classical architecture saw the refinement of columns and architectural orders like Doric and Ionic. Hellenistic architecture saw the increased use of the Corinthian order and other refinements. Key structures included temples, theaters, and agoras. Major temples included the Parthenon, with its refined proportions and sculptural details, and the Erechtheion, known for its asymmetrical style and Caryatid columns. Greek buildings employed various optical illusions and refinements for proportional accuracy.
Iranian (Persian) Art And Hadicrafts (Part 2)
The history of Iranian carpets dates back 2500 years to when Scythian nomads used carpets. The oldest known knotted carpet was discovered in a frozen tomb in Pazyryk valley and dates back 2400-2500 years old. The first evidence of carpets came from Chinese texts from the Sassanid Dynasty from AD 224-641. The most important time for Persian carpets was under the Safavid rulers from 1499-1722, with around 1500 carpets from this period preserved in museums and private collections worldwide.
ROMAN ARCHITECTURE
The document provides details on various aspects of Roman architecture and engineering. It describes how the Romans built extensive road networks, aqueducts, and lighthouses. It then focuses on construction techniques like concrete and brick masonry that were widely used. Specific structures discussed include the Colosseum, Baths of Caracalla, Pantheon, and temples. The Pantheon had a magnificent dome structure and its oculus provided natural lighting, exemplifying advanced Roman engineering skills. Overall, the document outlines the Romans' architectural achievements and influential building designs and materials.

'Alexander the Great - buried three times in Egypt' - an online lecture by Dr...
Alexander the Great conquered vast amounts of territory and came to rule a greater empire than had ever existed up that time. Along the way he chased the reviled Persians out of Egypt and was welcomed as pharaoh. He stayed in the country for just a few months and never returned, dying a few years later in Babylon. But his body was brought to Egypt for burial by his eventual successor, the general Ptolemy, no doubt in a suitably grand monument. Classical authors tell of visits by Julius Caesar, Augustus Caesar, Hadrian and others, but the tomb (or tombs…) has never been located. Where was it, and could it yet be found?

Cn beijing-forbidden city [reissue 2011]
The document provides information about the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. It was the imperial palace from the mid-Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, located in central Beijing and covering 720,000 square meters. It served as the residence for emperors and their staff for over 500 years and was the political center of China. The Forbidden City has 980 surviving buildings and over 8,700 rooms, surrounded by walls and a moat, and its architecture and artistic details demonstrate the exuberance of traditional Chinese design.
Evolution of the columns
What is a Column?
The column was an architectural invention which allowed for the support of ceilings without the use of solid walls, thereby increasing the space which could be spanned by a ceiling, allowing the entrance of light and offering an alternative aesthetic to building exteriors, particularly in the peristyles of temples and on colonnades along stoas.
Columns are frequently used to support beams or arches on which the upper parts of walls or ceilings rest.
In architecture, "column" refers to such a structural element that also has certain proportional and decorative features.
A column might also be a decorative element not needed for structural purposes; many columns are "engaged", that is to say form part of a wall.
Columns could also be incorporated (engaged) within walls or be free-standing and carry sculpture to commemorate particular events or people.
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.
'The Twenty-first Dynasty' - an online lecture by Dr Chris Naunton
Part one of a four-part series on the Third Intermediate Period (TIP) for the Kemet Klub.
The TIP has been much misunderstood. Spanning roughly four centuries it is a period characterised by cycles of division and reunification within the country, and also the influence of foreigners, particularly various groups of ‘Libyan’ settlers, and the emerging new power in the south, the kingdom of Kush. Individuals from both groups came to rule Egypt as pharaoh at various times. Archaeological and textual evidence for the period is fragmentary and has proven difficult to reconcile with other sources, particularly the king list provided by the historian Manetho. We now have a much improved understanding of how Egypt changed during the TIP, of what was distinctive about it, and in particular how Egypt was influenced by the foreign groups. Also vice versa, much more so perhaps, to the extent that even though we refer to parts of the period as the ‘Libyan’ or Kushite’ periods, Egypt was still very much Egypt.

'Cleopatra: Tomb, Baths and Birth-house' - an online lecture by Dr Chris Naunton
Cleopatra is perhaps one of most famous figures in the ancient world and yet little of what we know about her comes from archaeological evidence in Egypt. The story of her final days is well know and classical accounts tell us a little of her tomb and where it was, but it has never been found. She created a myth that she was Isis and her son, Horus – to help establish their legitimacy – and yet these crucially important scenes were lost over a century ago. Famously she bathed in milk and yet the ‘baths of Cleopatra’ which were a must-see for 19th Century travellers have now disappeared. What happened, and how can Egyptologists’ records help us to retrieve what has been lost?

Presentation
Egypt is located in North Africa with part in southwest Asia. It has large areas of Sahara desert and is crossed by the Nile River. Some of Egypt's most famous landmarks include the Giza pyramids built during the fourth and fifth dynasties, including the largest Great Pyramid of Giza constructed for the Pharaoh Khufu. Other sites are the Temples of Abu Simbel built by Ramesses II and featuring the solar phenomenon changing dates twice a year. The author provided pictures from a trip to Egypt showing sites along the Red Sea, temples along the Nile River, and obelisks.
Syracuse in the Greek age
The document summarizes important archaeological sites from the Greek and Roman periods in Syracuse, Sicily. It describes the Temple of Apollo located at the entrance of Ortigia dating to the 6th century BC. It also discusses the Temple of Athena built around 480 BC, the Temple of Jupiter known as the "Temple of the Two Columns", and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Additionally, it mentions the Artemision temple and the ionic temple dedicated possibly to Athena. The document also provides details on the Fountain of Arethusa, the Greek Theatre of Syracuse, and the latomie stone quarries that were later used as prisons.
Pantheon Rome
The Pantheon is the oldest building in the world, which is in continue use for about 2000 years. It also highlighted Roman engineering advances.
Pantheon
The Pantheon in Rome is one of the oldest and most well-preserved ancient structures still standing today. Originally built as a temple to honor all gods in 27 BC, it was later reconstructed under Emperor Hadrian in 125 AD and converted to a Catholic church in 608 AD. The Pantheon's most distinctive feature is its large oculus opening at the top of the dome, which at nearly 30 feet in diameter was the building's only source of light. Though originally used as a pagan temple, it continues to serve as a Roman Catholic church and is still an iconic landmark attracting many visitors to Rome.
GREEK ARCHITECTURE
Ancient Greek culture spread throughout Europe and greatly influenced Western civilization. There were three major periods of ancient Greece: Early Civilizations, Classical Greece, and the Hellenistic Period. Greek architecture, like the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian styles of columns, influenced buildings worldwide. Infrastructure projects such as aqueducts and theaters demonstrated the Greeks' engineering abilities. Ancient Greek advancements in arts, philosophy, and government continue to impact modern society.
The Pantheon
The document discusses the Pantheon in Rome, Italy. It was originally commissioned as a temple by Marcus Agrippa but was later rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian in 126 AD. The Pantheon has a large circular structure with a portico and rotunda beneath a concrete dome with an oculus. It remains the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome nearly 2,000 years later. The building also provides details about its architectural characteristics and history.
Greek architecture
Early Greek architecture originated from wood construction but transitioned to stone by the 6th century BC while retaining wooden design elements. The three classical orders of Greek architecture - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian - are defined by their column capitals and other distinguishing features. Greek temples generally followed set forms and served as homes for the community's gods, with outdoor ceremonies, and included a naos, pronaos, columns, entablature, and pediment. The Parthenon on the Athenian Acropolis was the pinnacle of classical Greek architecture, known for its refined proportions and sculptural details. Greek architectural forms had a lasting influence adopted by later cultures like the Romans and remain integral to architecture worldwide.
Architecture lesson #3 the pantheon
The Pantheon was originally built in 27 BCE as a temple honoring all gods, with the name coming from the Greek words for "all" and "god." It was rebuilt in 126 CE under Emperor Hadrian and has a circular structure under a dome opening to the sky, making it the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome nearly 2,000 years later. It was later converted to a church in the 7th century CE and remains one of the best preserved buildings from ancient Rome.
'The Missing Tomb of Amenhotep I' - an online lecture by Dr Chris Naunton
The document discusses the missing tomb of Pharaoh Amenhotep I. Several potential burial sites are mentioned, including Tomb KV39 in the Valley of the Kings, two tombs at Dra Abu el-Naga (Carter's Tomb ANB and Tomb K93 11/12), and a possible site discovered by the Polish cliff-top mission at Deir el-Bahri. No definitive evidence has been found for Amenhotep I's burial, but these sites provide some of the best leads for where his tomb may be located.
Pyramids
Pyramids were massive tombs built by the ancient Egyptians for their pharaohs. They were constructed out of stone blocks, with limestone used for the core and granite for interior chambers. The pyramids were precisely oriented and included hidden burial chambers. As techniques improved over time, pyramids evolved from mastaba tombs to stepped pyramids, then to bent and true pyramid designs. The earliest pyramid was the Step Pyramid of Djoser built around 2630 BC, while the largest was the Great Pyramid of Giza built for Khufu around 2560 BC.

Pyramids
Pyramids were massive tombs built by the ancient Egyptians for their pharaohs. They were constructed out of stone blocks, with limestone used for the core and granite for interior chambers. The pyramids were precisely oriented and included hidden burial chambers. As techniques improved over time, pyramids evolved from mastaba tombs to stepped pyramids, then to bent and true pyramid designs. The earliest pyramid was the Step Pyramid of Djoser built around 2630 BC, while the largest was the Great Pyramid of Giza built for Khufu around 2560 BC.

The Egyptian pyramids were built as tombs for kings, evolving from earlier mastaba structures. The first pyramid was the Step Pyramid of Djoser, which had six tiers. Later pyramids like the Red Pyramid and structures at Giza including the Great Pyramid of Khufu were true pyramids with smooth sides. The pyramids contained burial chambers decorated with hieroglyphs and were surrounded by boat pits and other structures for use in the afterlife.
Egypt pyramid
The document summarizes the history and development of Egyptian pyramids from early mastabas to later structures like the stepped pyramid of Djoser and smooth-sided true pyramids such as Khufu's Great Pyramid. It describes key features of pyramids such as burial chambers, construction materials, and the purpose of boat pits. Hieroglyphics and treasures left in tombs are also mentioned.
Egyptian Pyramids By Ardhendu
The Egyptian pyramids were tombs for pharaohs built during the Old and Middle Kingdoms. The earliest pyramid was the Step Pyramid of Djoser built in 2630 BC, making it one of the oldest monumental stone structures. Pyramids were constructed at numerous sites across Egypt, including Giza, Saqqara, Dahshur, Abu Sir, and Lisht. They were precisely built structures representing the sun and pharaoh's journey to the afterlife, constructed using massive stone blocks and featuring innovative building techniques.
Pyramids
The Pyramids of Egypt were built over 4,000 years ago as tombs for pharaohs. The largest pyramid, the Great Pyramid of Giza, stands over 450 feet tall and covers over 13 acres of land. The pyramids were constructed using stone blocks some weighing over 15 tons that were transported and lifted into place. They demonstrate the immense wealth and power of ancient Egyptian civilization.
Egyptian civilization
The topic of history is vast and there were many civilization after and before britishers ruled. So this is 1 topic's study.
Humanities (1) report
The document provides information on Egyptian tomb architecture and decoration over different periods from the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. It discusses the evolution from early mastabas for kings and nobles to later pyramid structures. Mastabas were rectangular above-ground tombs with offering chapels and hidden rooms for statues. Later, pyramids housed royal burial chambers. Nobles had less elaborate decorated mastabas. Workers in the New Kingdom had modest privately-built tombs. The document also gives details on the Great Sphinx at Giza and sphinxes as emblems of Egypt.
The Great Pyramid Of Giza
The Great Pyramid of Giza was built around 2560 BC as a tomb for the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu. It was constructed over a 20-year period using over 2 million stone blocks, some weighing over two tons. When completed, it was the tallest human-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. The pyramid is precisely oriented to the four cardinal directions and built with incredibly precise measurements and stonework. It remains one of the largest and oldest man-made structures still standing today.
Ancient Egypt Project
The document summarizes several ancient Egyptian pyramids built from earliest to latest, including the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid built by Snefru, and the largest Great Pyramid of Giza built for Khufu. It describes the sizes and some architectural features of each pyramid discussed. The last pyramid mentioned is the pyramid of Pepi II, which contains pyramid texts carved on the walls.
The Pyramids
The Red Pyramid was built as the burial site of Pharaoh Snofru, founder of the 4th Dynasty, making it one of the oldest pyramids in Egypt. It was originally cased in white limestone but is now a reddish color after the stone was quarried. The interior contains three chambers that can be visited via electric lighting. The Bent Pyramid nearby has a unique shape where the angle changes part way up and was Snofru's final resting place. Modern historians believe Snofru built multiple pyramids not due to structural concerns but as part of maintaining resources and infrastructure for future pharaohs' burial sites.
Ancient Egyptian architecture - Wikipedia.pdf
This document provides an overview of ancient Egyptian architecture spanning over 3,000 years. It describes some of the common architectural features such as columns often resembling plants like papyrus, and buildings constructed from mud bricks and stone using post and lintel construction. It highlights some of Egypt's most prominent architectural sites including the Giza pyramid complex with the Great Pyramids, Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple known for its massive Hypostyle Hall, and the Ramesseum built by Ramesses II.
Pyramids
The pyramids of Egypt were built between 3000 BC and 1800 BC as tombs for pharaohs. They were constructed to represent the primordial mound and rays of the sun. The largest pyramid, the Great Pyramid of Giza, was built for Pharaoh Khufu between 3000 BC and 1800 BC and remains the largest pyramid ever constructed, though Khufu was never actually buried there. Inside the pyramids are chambers for the pharaoh as well as shafts believed to bring air to the chambers and allow the pharaoh's soul to ascend to the afterlife.
The great pyramid of cheops
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids located in Giza, Egypt. Though commonly referred to as the Pyramid of Cheops, it was actually built for the Pharaoh Khufu and took around 20 years to construct using thousands of workers and limestone blocks. Standing at an original height of 146.5 meters, it remained the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years until the early 20th century. The pyramid contained chambers and tunnels including two main burial chambers built within the pyramid for Khufu and was part of a larger complex that also included smaller pyramids and temples.
Pyramids – egypt
The pyramids were built as burial places and monuments for pharaohs. It was believed that pharaohs needed certain items to succeed in the afterlife, so they were buried with treasures. The largest pyramid, the Great Pyramid of Giza, stood as the tallest structure in the world for 3,800 years and took at least 20,000 workers over 23 years to build using 2.3 million blocks weighing 5.9 million tons.
Ancient Egypt
The document provides information about ancient Egypt, including sphinxes, pharaohs, and locations. It describes that sphinxes are mythical creatures with the body of a lion and the head of a person, usually a pharaoh, and the Egyptians built giant sphinx statues to guard important areas like temples and tombs. The first sphinx was built around 2500 BC to guard Pharaoh Khafre's tomb. Sphinxes are made of limestone that was carved and shaped using stone tools. The Great Sphinx was discovered in 1817 by an expedition led by Captain Caviglia.
Ancient Egyptian Architecture By James Munroe
The document discusses various aspects of ancient Egyptian architecture such as pyramids, the Sphinx, houses, and the Valley of the Kings. It describes the key pyramids built by different pharaohs including their sizes and compositions. The Sphinx is noted as having the body of a lion and the head of a man, with a legend that it would eat those who could not answer its riddle. Egyptian homes were constructed from sun-dried bricks of mud and straw with flat roofs. The Valley of the Kings contained underground tombs for pharaohs like Tutankhamen and Ramesses the Great, where their possessions were stored.
The mysteryofthepyramids
The document discusses how the Egyptian pyramids and burial practices evolved over time. It begins with mastaba tombs, which were low brick structures that housed possessions for pharaohs. The pyramids developed from mastabas, becoming large stone structures like the iconic Giza pyramids. The pyramids served religious purposes, allowing pharaohs' spirits to ascend to the heavens. Later, pharaohs were buried in the Valley of the Kings to make tombs harder to rob. The document examines various pharaohs' pyramids and provides details on their construction and alignment with astronomical phenomena. It poses questions about how the pyramids were built and speculates on possible methods.
Ancient Egyptian Pyramids
The Great Sphinx of Giza was carved from limestone during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre around 4,600 years ago and stands guard behind Khafre's pyramid. The Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for pharaohs and their queens starting before the Old Kingdom, with the three largest at Giza constructed over three generations for Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. While it was once believed that slaves built Khufu's pyramid, it was actually constructed by 100,000 workers during the Nile's annual flooding. The Pyramid of Saqqara was the first to be built out of stone blocks rather than mudbrick and served as the prototype for later
pyramids
The pyramids of Egypt were built between 3000 BC and 1800 BC as tombs for pharaohs. They were constructed to represent the primordial mound and the rays of the sun. Most pyramids contained several interior chambers including the king's chamber, queen's chamber, and grand gallery. Air shafts and passageways were included to allow the pharaoh's soul to ascend to the afterlife. The most famous are the three large pyramids at Giza, including the Great Pyramid built for Khufu, which remains the largest pyramid ever constructed. Scientists still study how the ancient Egyptians were able to build such massive structures.
