Holies"), is an ancient funerary shrine in Upper Egypt. Dedicated to the Pharaoh Hatshepsut,
it is located beneath the cliffs at Deir el Bahari, on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley
of the Kings. The mortuar temple is dedicated to the sun god Amun and is situated next to
the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II, which served both as an inspiration, and later, a
quarry. It is considered one of the "incomparable monuments of ancient Egypt

Temple of Edfu
The Temple of Edfu is an ancient Egyptian temple located on the west bank of
the Nile in Edfu, Upper Egypt. The city was known in Greco-Roman times as
Apollonopolis Magna, after the chief god Horus-Apollo It is one of the best preserved
shrines in Egypt. The temple, dedicated to the falcon god Horus was built in
the Ptolemaic period between 237 and 57 BC. The inscriptions on its walls provide
important information on language, myth and religion during the Greco-Roman
period in ancient Egypt. In particular, the Temple's inscribed building texts "provide
details [both] of its construction, and also preserve information about the mythical
interpretation of this and all other temples as the Island of Creation." [2] There are also
"important scenes and inscriptions of the Sacred Drama which related the age-old
conflict between Horus and Seth"[3] They are translated by the German Edfu-Project.

ROMAN COLOSSEUM
The Colosseum or Coliseum (/klsim/ kol--see-m), also known as the Flavian
Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium; Italian: Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo [kolos
so]), is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and
sand it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of
the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72 and was
completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir Titus. Further modifications were made
during the reign of Domitian (8196).] These three emperors are known as the Flavian
dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family
name (Flavius).

doric
The Doric order was one of the three orders of ancient Greek or classical
architecture; the other two canonical orders were the Ionic and the Corinthian.
The Doric is most easily recognised by the simple circular capitals at the top of
columns.

ROMAN COMPOSITE
The composite order is a mixed order, combining the volutes of the Ionic order capital
with the acanthus leaves of the Corinthian order In many versions the composite order
volutes are larger, however, and there is generally some ornament placed centrally between
the volutes. e column of the composite order is typically ten diameters high, though as with
all the orders these details may be adjusted by the architect for particular buildings. The
Composite order is essentially treated as Corinthian except for the capital, with no
consistent differences to that above or below the capital.
