What I like most about the Egyptian Society is their Architecture and their growth in it. The Egyptian architecture had a great effect through the different time periods till even today. This is because Egypt was the starting point and had to make every idea from scratch looking at no one in the past. However the Greeks and Romans were hugely effected by the Egyptians which carried on. (Haffner, Oakes)
The great temples they built into the mountain sides and the beautiful city of Amarna. To add to that there are the legendary and beautiful pyramids and the great Valley of the Kings. Some obvious things that were passed on are the massive and amazing statues carved and the great obelisks. All of these are just some of the great architectural memories we have awed over today. (Oakes)Today even in our own country we see their influense of the obelisks of the Washington monutment at the Capital. There is a difference however, the Egyptian obelisks are carved out of stone in one big piece and ours however are not the are made up of blocks put together. We can also see the use and effect of statues quite easily. (Oakes)
Now we have not created things such grand sites as the great pyramids or the valley of the kings, the world is still amazed at what was acomplished there. Escpecially in concide
ring the terms that they worked under and with. Because the Egyptians created such great monuments it was part of the reason why they had good wealth and authority to others, however this was lost. (Haffner)

(Haffner)The architecture is the structure or design of anything, and the architecture of the Egyptian society was greatly structured by their work and what they built. The type of buildings that they built then structured the architecture of building through the generations and time periods. Their acomplishments are still loved and looked at with amaze today even though Egyptian society has crumbled they are still talked about because of the great things and sites they left behind. Their architecture leaves their legacy.
