Pyramids
A structure whose shape roughly of that a pyramid in a geometric sense. The square pyramid, which has a square base and the most common, is majorly seen as a monumental structure. The design of a pyramid, which consists of a heavy, sturdy base with a light pryamidion, allowed ancient civilizations to take advantage of this clever weight distribution to create monumental structures, and in some cases, tombs for the pharaohs.

Temples
During the 8000-600 bce era, many of the temples were actually ziggurats. Temples were usually in the center of the city/state and held the city/state’s deity or god. These temples were often sacred, which therefore only priests/ religious leaders were allowed to enter these temples. These temples were often described as a “mountain of God” or “a hill from heaven.”

Paintings
With the rise of the early civilizations, the people began painting for pleasure. Elites began to encourage the arts and artisanship. Over the years, painting became more civil and impressionist. Some of the early paintings resided in caves and were etched into rock or stone. The further development of art led to the use of hieroglyphs.

Hieroglyphs
Hieroglyphs are a form of pictographs. Hieroglyphs are similar to cuneiform but were simpler in a cursive form, making them useful for everyday writing. Hieroglyphs were only left to the scribes of ancient Egypt. Hieroglyphs were also in forms of an alphabet.
