Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is a 5 page paper discussing the changes in Egyptian architecture during the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms. During the Old Kingdom in Egypt an enormous amount of royal architectural triumphs were built including the great pyramids at Giza. The architecture of Egypt seems mostly to reflect the strength of the kingdoms at the time. The start of the Old Kingdom was the first dynasty (the Third Dynasty) to see the unification of the country under one monarch. This time also saw a great amount of prosperity. The kings during this period were equal to the gods and the monuments which were erected symbolized this. The tombs which existed during the first and second dynasties were eventually out built by first the step pyramids and then the geometric pyramids which are still considered wonders of the world today. The times during the Middle and New Kingdoms were somewhat more unstable and the kings did not have complete sovereignty over the land and the sizes of the monuments also diminished. During the Middle Kingdom elaborate temples were erected for the various cults of the gods. During the time of the Warrior Kings and the Ramses in the New Kingdom, the kings were considered powerful and many monuments and temples were erected to honor them however they were not equated with the gods and never received god-like structures comparable with the pyramids.

the monuments also diminished. During the Middle Kingdom elaborate temples were erected for the various cults of the gods. During the time of the Warrior Kings and the Ramses in
the New Kingdom, the kings were considered powerful and many monuments and temples were erected to honor them however they were not equated with the gods and never received god-like
structures comparable with the pyramids. The Old Kingdom was from 2575 to 2134 B.C. during the third to sixth dynasties. After the unification
of Egypt during the second dynasty, the third dynasty of the Egyptian kings was quite powerful and the second king of that dynasty, Netcheriche or Djoser (Zoser) became powerful
enough to control the whole country (Mysteries, 2002). Egypt at the time was very wealthy with agricultural projects which flourished with irrigation innovations, increased trade as well as an increasing
population. This period was considered the most productive in Egyptian history and all of the major architectural projects were done during the Old Kingdom (Mysteries, 2002).
