Introduction

History is full of many inventions and glorious achievements. Some of the best achievements in history are the great architectures of its time. Many civilizations came and ended, but some civilizations made an impact so loud that their architecture and traditions are still praised in the 21st century and will be praised for many centuries ahead.

Civilizations like Mesopotamian, "Egyptians and Romanesque" are the ones whose architectures are so solidly and well crafted that they are still making their mark and at their places just as they were made.

There is no doubt that machinery and technology was not present in the times when Mesopotamian, Egyptians and Romanesque civilization used to wander around the world. Even without these machinery and technology, they were capable of making such a mind boggling and well crafter architectures, that one cannot do anything but praise their hard work determination and planning.

The planning for the construction of these architectures was always ongoing, day by day the artists decorated the top of the architectures and the engineer used to plan on that what to do next and where.

According to them, once their king's body is placed in the pyramid, their souls are able to guide the kingdom even after they are dead. It is also said that, once these kings are mummified in the pyramids, they are receiving from the gods. Furthermore, some say that pyramids are a symbol of hope for the Egyptians because it endures that the kings are united with god.

The first pyramid age began during 2650-2134 B.C. When King Djoser ruled the Egyptians civilization, it is in his ruler ship when the first pyramids were built and this construction of pyramid continued until 1640 B.C (www2.sptimes.com).

Pyramids were constructed by the use of large groups of workers including farmers. Slaves were not used for the construction of these pyramids as at that time slave labours were not used in the Egypt. The farmers of Egypt used to volunteer themselves to help and work as a labour in the construction of the pyramids, as at summer times, the farm fields were filled under water and in order to earn some gold and wages they volunteered themselves for the construction of the pyramids. It should be noted that, ...
