Egyptian Architecture











When I have heared Egyptian Architecture, one comes to my mind it the greatest man made that ever built in Architecture civilization no other than pyramid. It is remarkable landmark of Egypt and one among of the Seven Wonders of the World. Everyone fascinated to the structure of Pyramid even if it only seen on TV or a picture. This would be a dream come true when you see it in actual. For me the topic about ancient Egyptian Architecture is much more interesting because even in our industrialized period, modernist designer adapt idea in some Egyptian Structures. The Egyptian built a lot of temples, tomb and huge sculpture with a lot of paintings in some of those structures. What truly pleasing to the eyes that the structures seems it based in modernist and has a detailed designed from walls, flooring, and columns. Unlike west Asiatic Architecture, Egyptian has much more on massive powers, slaves to build their temples in honors of pharaohs. I think Egyptian started using a perfectly plan, done by a great Architect on that  Era. The whole structure has a function and the solidity abide like in pyramid it has underground or a secret door that according to their beliefs it led to dead end passages. The Pharaohs coffin actual resting place was near  the bottom and where the tomb contained many of the Pharaoh’s personal items. A mummy, one of the representation of Egyptian knowledge in burial and funerary beliefs. This beliefs about the death and the transition to the afterlife, according to them this would be an important preparation that were ritualistically adhered to by the ancient people for their kings and royalty.
