•
Steady line of water.

Compounds of UR and Karnak •
Ur of Ziggurat compound : – an number of independent buildings each with its own boundary wall is grouped, tidily but with no unifying axis . – The ziggurat itself has three approach stairs that meet at a single gateway. – the terminal of Mesopotamian sanctuary slow the momentum of the sequence.
•
Temple amon At Karnak – the temple of Amon Marshals all its component units along a straight path. – Temples of Egypt pull the visitor deeper toward the core. – Temples were themselves channels of passage like river along which they stood. – Egyptian design conceived of major architectural programs as a series of episodes along a predetermined path.
Life After Death •
The conceivable cycle of life made Egyptian believe that death was not the final thing. • Regular flooding. • Regular Rain. • Desert uncover the buried.
