Prologue

As far as sight may see from the north-eastern coast to the south there stretched a great wall. A majestic and breathtaking sight it was, and the wall was lined and dotted by red torch-light, shining from the wall noticible from miles away and yonder, on both land and sea, gaudily outlined in the night where shining silver-white rays rain upon and towards the ground, to mingled red from the wall.
Upon either sides of this tall, great wall were set with stone-wooden platforms of scaffolding, built along its entire length. Upon and around these devices are many thousands of labourers and workers of many races: great sculpers from Dwarfdoms, expert masons and stone-layers from the stone-academies Aerisdornea, and labourers and workers, men young and old, from many countless lands swarming upon the wall, building and scurring like ants. For this wall was no less than the instigation of the construction of the grand Capitol-city of Sildellond, where the Emperor Kiliothainail has commisioned after his landing upon Silnea, to construct a noble seat for his Golden Throne.
The workers, working in divisons of four shifts, each long as twelve hours,

Danir left soon as well, and retired to his respective lodging, assigned to men by number. For the rest of the night Danir only could vaguely remember. But he thought when lying down he could see in his mind the same look like that mad gleam in Hingarn's eyes. But the shape of this vision was weirdly unpercieveable, but this that he saw half-awake was much more potent, like a stabbing point of a silvern-spear. And it was terrible, and troubled his sleep. But he could not understand it, the more he thought about it the deeper and deeper vaguely it grown, and it scarred his mind

Many of today’s building all across the country have similarities to buildings of the ancient world and does not just appear in the realm of religious institutions, banks, or government buildings. Buildings at Colleges, insurance companies, banquet halls, auditoriums, palaces, temples, castles, monasteries, and even convention centers for example are designed and built to resemble and lay tribute to structures of the past.

    Long Wall History

    The collection of fortifications now known as "The Great Wall of China" has historically had a number of different names in both Chinese and English. In Chinese histories, the term "Long Wall(s)" (長城, changcheng) appears in Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian, where it referred to both the separate great walls built between and north of the Warring States and to the more unified construction of the First Emperor.[7] The Chinese character 城 is a phono-semantic compound of the "place" or "earth" radical 土 and 成, whose Old Chinese pronunciation has been reconstructed as *deŋ.[8] It originally referred to the rampart which surrounded traditional Chinese cities and was used by extension for these walls around their respective states; today, however, it is much more often simply the Chinese word for "city".[9]…

    It has been observed by (PN, Aztec Religion) that there are certain ways through which Native Americans were met by the Columbus that distinct with the one, which Cortes faced. The key aspect that both categories of Native Americans diverged was the technology, which they use in making houses, weapons, and architectural structures. However, the religious beliefs and practices of these two categories of Native Americans were engaged differently as it is evident in the offered narratives. Such aspects show that the two societies were distinct from each other with respect to practices as they engaged in with the level of knowledge (Jeremy, 77-98).…

    In present-day Warka, Iraq — the old Sumerian city of Uruk and home of the unbelievable Gilgamesh — stands the most seasoned surviving ziggurat, delegated by the supposed White Temple, a holy place named in cutting edge times for its whitewashed mud-block dividers. Accepted to have been devoted to the sky god Anu, the sanctuary sits on its ziggurat stage 40 feet over the ground, its corners situated toward the cardinal purposes of the compass. The White Temple is humble in size (around 60 feet long) and was manufactured, not for open services, but rather for customs in which just a chosen few would go about as go-betweens to the divine beings. Sumerians alluded to sanctuaries as ''holding up rooms,'' on the grounds that lords and clerics would accumulate high on their man-made mountains, possessing a thin position in the middle of paradise and earth, and hold up to collective with their divine bei…

    Hadrian's Achievements

    Although Hadrian was not tolerant of certain religious groups throughout his reign, he belongs in the Hall of Fame because he focused on consolidation rather than expansion, united the empire using architecture, and showed interest in people of all social classes. Hadrian was born in Spain in 76 CE and rose through the ranks of Roman politics and military, partly due to his relationship with Trajan. After Hadrian's father died in 85 AD, Hadrian was entrusted to the care of two men. One of them, a cousin of his father, later became emperor Trajan. As an adopted son of Trajan, Hadrian would go on to rule the Roman Empire from 117 CE to 138 CE, a time that was still considered in the Pax Romana.…

    The Pantheon The Pantheon, which means “all the gods”, is a Roman temple that was commissioned by Emperor Hadrian, says Cartwright, in honor of Marcus Agrippa. Today the Pantheon is a major tourist attraction because it is the most well preserved building of ancient Rome, during the years 118 - 125 A.D. From the very front, the Pantheon building comes up to a point, making an obtuse triangle. Bellow one will find an inscription saying “M. AGRIPPA L.F. COS TERTIUM FECIT”, which reads, “Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, three-time consul, made this” (Cartwright, "Pantheon”). Dr. Harris and Dr. Zucker inform that there are monolith columns, with no fluting, supporting this triangular shape. These monoliths are important because even though the Pantheon…
