Most of their buildings were like carved on a giant stone or combined the stone mixture... e.t.c.
Each of them was built without nails and machines (of course, they didn't have at that time).
Pyramids, I'm not going to talk about them because they are too famous and the way to built them is still unknown.
When we think of Egyptian temples, one of the principle architectural elements that comes to mind is the column. In fact, it is difficult to imagine a temple such as Karnak without thinking of its columned halls, and what many visitors will take away with them is visions of pylons, obelisks, statues and columns. Column shafts were often decorated with colorful depictions in painted, carved relief, and remain some of the most interesting architectural elements in Egyptian structures.
Their columns can be differ into a few style. Osiride column, Open Papyrus column, Hathoric column... e.t.c.
Hathoric column, is using Hathor's head as the design which I just introduced in the last post.
This is a sample of Osiride Column.
This is a really good design. The columns already clearly show you that this is a temple.
And this is Open Papyrus Column.
There is too many knowledge about column. If you wish to see more, please visit this site: http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/columns.htm
