Ancient Architecture: Impressive, Imperishable and Inimitable

Bhowmick, Dhira / Dkhar, V.C.S

The architecture of the ancients--the builders of such remarkable monuments as The Great Pyramid of Giza, Machu Pichu and the impressive cliff dwellings of Dogon tribes of Mali,have long been the subject of great admiration and fascination for scholars and laymen alike.That these ancient anonymous builders were possessors of vast and advanced knowledge of geophysics,geography,astronomy, geography,engineering and architecture,there is little doubt about that.Sadly, much of the ancient art of building construction has remained a mystery, thus making their architecture inimitable.Their imperishability after thousands of years has made them pieces of endless wonder and envy for the moderns.
