Greek, or Egyptian?

Question

Someone, please tell me which architecture was more developed?Greek?or Egyptian?And why? I really need good and long explanations plsplsplspls. I'm only asking the History geniuses. :D

Answer 1

Greek went through three phases of architecture; Doric, Ionic, Corinthian.
Egyptians were constantly, throughout their dominant domain, the same, they never ventured outside the norms. Their architecture was marvelous for the time, but the greeks were more advanced in the sense that they changed at a constant rate over time.

Answer 2

Greek architecture was more developed that old Egypyian Architectur. In Greek architectur they had found out how to spread whieght of large ceilings and transfer it through columns. They also started forming the V shapped roofs. The Greeks also started using rounded columns in thier architecture whilst the Egyptians was based mostly on Square blocks.
The greeks where also more concerned with statues and emblems that protuded from the buildings. the Egyptians where busy with chisels into the rock and colouring the marks.
Egyptian architecture is unique and the time they spent on completing things on such a scale is amazing. The greek architecture is much more refined and has a higher quality.

Answer 3

That is a rough question. Greek and Egyptian architecture were both mostly of stone. The Egyptian was larger and more dominating whereas the Greeks found a way to make stone appear light and airy. Many of the greater pieces of Egyptian architecture were dedicated to the dead. Most of the greater pieces of Greek architecture were dedicated to life and Gods. If anything would qualify the Greeks as more developed it would be their use of the arch.

Answer 4

Many aspects of ancient Greek architecture were borrowed from different civilizations, including the Egyptians, so it's not really fair to compare their achievements.

Answer 5

I think both were extremely geniuses, I am Egyptian and when I go and see the pyramids and the ancient monument I think how they did it ...its seams impossible, and I love the Greek architecture I would do any thing to go to Greece i love it and I love its people...

Answer 6

How can you compare a coliseum to a PYRAMID?? Hands down the Egyptians had better architecture.

Answer 7

greek was more developped, mainly because teh greek empire rose a few centuries later.

the greek mainly perfected the art of using colloms to make temples higher, bigger, etc.

where egyptians used a dozen of pilars to hold up the ceilings, the greek only used colloms on the outside to hold up the entire roof. (spanning greater area's)
