Ancient Civilization: Egypt

Egyptian civilization began around 3150 B.C. The most interesting thing to me that occurred during this time period are the structures that were built. This mainly catches my attention today due to the fact that these structures are still standing after such a long period of time. The Ancient Egyptians built some of the most inspirational structures. Although we may not think that the ancient Egyptian architecture has an impact on us today, it does. One of their main contributions to modern architecture is the use of beam construction. That is something that is often used in today's design.
