Architecture

Greece:This wiki page will be talking about houses and temples and temples of ancient greece.

Temples:Because religion was very important to the ancient greeks,they build extremely beutiful temples to warship their gods.There were temples for each different god,in which people put statues and Sacrafices, to show their gods how much the believed in them.Now let's get on,to the way temples were build.As a example I will use the parthenon temple,in Athens.Because people wanted to make it the best temple ever built,it is built entirely out of marble.It differed to other greek temples,as it had 8 columns instead of 6 along the front side.I personally believe it's amazing,how this culture made these incredible temples,with very basic materials,and not having any machines to help them!

Houses: Rich and poor people lived in different kinds of houses.But all of these houses were made from stone or clay,and lay surrounded by a courtyard.Mens and womans lived in seperate areas of the house.Poor people had very basic houses,while richer people had houses with more rooms,and which where very nicely designed.In the finest houses, people had mosaics,which are pictures made out of little pebbles.These mosaics were decorated on floors and walls.

Typical examples for Greek architecture:A typical example for greek architecture,are the ionic and doric columns.These columns were extremely good for supporting the roofs of buildings.
