By now you should have an understanding of the elements and characteristics of Egyptian and Mesopotamian architecture. Please answer the following question in a powerful 7-10 sentence paragraph.
Which form of architecture expresses greater religious power? Egypt or Mesopotamia?
hey everybody my name is tyler and i would like to share my understandings with you.now the question asks which architecture has the most religous power.the answer is both. this is because the egyptions built pyramids for the gods and their kings. And for the mesopatamians they created ziggoraghts. In the ziggeraghts were their gods at the very top and only priests could go in there.that is my understanding on religous power. TYLER R. COLUMBIA
ReplyDeleteI agree with TYLER R. in COLUMBIA. It is because his agument talk about both sides like "This is because the egyptions built pyramids for the gods and their kings. And for the mesopatamians they created ziggoraghts"He also say that they both are powerful.In sum,I agree with TYLER R. in COLUMBIA. FROM:Diego Mendez in columbia
DeleteI will like to agree with you. both of them do have places for the gods. Also they both work really hard. I also think this because they think their ideas.
DeleteIn my opinion I think Mesopotamia has greater architecture. This is because they do their best to make it great and detailed. Also, because they take their time and make it mean something. For example, they built buildings or they paint a painting and they express their feelings & religion in them. In Sum, Mesopotamia has a greater architecture in many ways.

i agree with joselin that mesopotamian architecture is greater than egyptian architecture because their painting are made realisticly by the way that they add color and how they do express their feelings by what they paint.also because they worship the gods by painting the ziggurats josilen and leila>.<
DeleteIn my opinion I think Egypt has more religous power.This is why because Egypt worshiped the Gods more.For example they created ziggurats for the Gods to express great power and appriciation.They also made sculptures so the beauty reflects on their city.In conclusion Egypt had more religous power.

I think that Mesopotania is more religious in many ways. This is because Mesopotanians thought that power ful Gods in the sky, that will come down & walk up the stairs in the Ziggurat. Ziggurats were temples. Also, Egypt copied Mesopotania. So, Mesopotania should deserve more credit. For example, Mesoptanians would take 20 years to make a Ziggurat. In sum, there are many ways why Mesopotania is more infuentail.
ReplyDelete_Vincent
A ziggurat would express greater power than a pyramid. This is because what each building is used for. For example, a ziggurat is used for priest to speak to their gods. A pyramid is where a pharoh is buried. A pyramid was for the pharohs to go upwards to heaven or something like that to the Egyptian.In conclusion, a ziggurat is more of a religious strucuter than a pyramid.

I would like to disagree with Egyptian architecture being more reliligeos than Mesopotamian architecture. This is because Mesopotsmia made ziggrats so that the priest would go up and talk to the gods. For Eygypt, the pyramids didn't really symbolize religious power because they were mainly a graveyard for pharaohs.

I think Eygpt architecture expresses greater reliogous power. This is for many reasons. One reson is because most of the art is about their pharoahs. n example is the pyrainids.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion i think egypt expresses greater religion power.This is because the way that they make the architecture shows honor to both culture and religion.For example they have faces on animals or switched around w/animal faces on human bodys.They also represent religion by making their paintings look realistic by adding color and making little objets or pieces stand out .In sum egyptian architecture expresses more religion that mesopotamian architecture>.<
ReplyDeleteI believe that Mesopotamian architecture is better. This is because they were the first people to create architecture. Then the Egyptians came along and took the Mesopotamian's ideas. They had ideas that the pyramids represented their dead pharaohs, the Sun God,and the stars. In Egypt the ziggurats only represented the Greek Gods. And they got the idea from the Mesopotamian pyrimds.

There are many characteristics of zigarats that express religious power unlike than egyptian pyramids.this is because ziggurats were built for religious purposes unlike the egyptian pryamids which were built to aligh with the stars so when the pharaoh would die they would go straight up with the gods . for example only priest would go up to talk to gods. in sum there are many charistics that make the zigrat a greater express of religion.

I Would Like To Agree With Sydnee, That Ziggurats Express More Than Pyramids. Also, That Egypt Copied Mesopotania. So, Mesopotania Thought That Powerful Gods Would Walk On The Ziggurats. For Example, That Gods Will Walk On The Stair Way & Do Stuff There.
Delete- Vincent ^.^
in my opion i think mesopotamia expresses greater religious power because when you look at their pictures of zigurrats then you notice they are pointing up towards the sky/stars and they are built like that on purpose because they believed their gods lived on mountains and so when their kings died die then they shoot up to the sky like rockets.Also their art shows them worshipping their gods, to make sure they still let nature continue.In sum i think mesopotamia expresses greater religious power in many ways.

Egypt expresses greater religious power of architecture. This is because they have pyramids. which represents their leaders who have died. Also the people that have died who eypts want to honor. They also have the pharoahs. This animal/human is known as the gate garder. This helps their enemys know they dont fear. It also keeps them from going in. In sum, Egypt for me is the one that expresses greater religious power.

In my opinion the most religious civilization is... Egypt, a pyramid would represent a gods tombs this is because a would also represent part of a star that would just sent them up to heaven or straight up to the gods it wouldn’t also be Mesopotamia because they used ziggurats, to sent gods down to earth for me it is not so important because if a god would just come down to earth then that would expose them.

I think Mesopatamia because they made ziggurats. The ziggurats were used to let the gods come down to earth. The Egyptians Made their pyramids to let the phathe Mesopatamians are more religious. roughs go in to the heavens after death.In the ziggurats a priest put food for the gods could get happy. They did that for the gods will not get mad and not make natural disaster occur. That is how the Mesopatmians are more religious. Alejandro B. columbia

DeleteI believe that that both Mesopotamian and Egyptian architecture expresses religious power. This is because they both had structures to express religion. For example, The Mesopotamians had ziggurats . It espressed religious power because they were the highest building with a ceremonial stairway for a god or goddess to decend from heaven to earth. The Egyptians pyramids also expressed religious power since the triangular shape pointed to the sun and stars and the pharaohs body/ spirit would shoot up into heaven and protect their society. In sum, both Mesopotamians and Egyptians architecture expressed religious power.

The Egyptian pyramids did represnt that spirtits would shoot up to heaven, the sun and stars, to protect the society. And the ziggurats was also they were another important building. The ziggurats were the highest buildings, and had syairways for Goddess to come down from heaven.
DeleteIn my opinion I think that Egypt has a better architecture than Mesopotamia. This is because they had pyramids. They also knew how to make them in their own way. Also because their architecture relates more to religion. For example, the steps on the pyramids show that the gods step down from the sky.

DeleteI believe that Egypt had a better structure in their buildings than Mesopiatmians. Their spirtual beliefs had a great impact on their buildings.

The Egyptians had more colorfull art. In sum thats why the Egyptains had better art and structure. Gilbert Villarreal Princeton Department of Justice
ReplyDeleteI think Egypt expressed religious power in their architecture more than the Mesopotamian. This is because almost everything the Egyptian did were related to their gods, but not the Mesopotamian. For example, the Egyptian made many statues and drawings on buildings of the gods. However, the Mesopotamian had some architecture for their god (ziggurats),but still had some building decorated with art about their own daily life. In conclusion, the Egyptian religious power was stronger than the Mesopotamian’s.

I think that Egyptian architecture is more religious in many ways.I think Egypt is mored religious in there architecture by worshiping their once alive pharaohs.For example,when a pharaoh dies they put them in a gigantic tomb called a pyramid.A pyramid is shaped in a triangle so that the pharaohs soul goes into heaven with the gods.Then Egypt also has ziggurats which is meant so a god would step down and save them.In conclusion,I think Egypt is more religious in their artchitecture.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Chandler. That is the main reason why they buried their dead pharaohs in the pyramid. The ziggurats were built for gods to come down and receive a message from the priest or give a message to the priests. In sum, I agree with you.
Deletein my opinion egyptian archictecture expresses more power. this because of the style of the archictecture and the purpose. for example, if you ever see egyptian architecture the style is triangular like. the reason to this style is because it helped send pharohs go up to the sky. also, their buildings has many drawings that usually tells you many stories. it shows gods and also shows how animals had power because of all the types of animal features like the heads on the human bodies. in sum, i believe that egyptian architecture shows much more religious power than meopotamian architecture.

I believe that Egypt is better for several reasons. One reason would be because they brought many things to our current culture. One example of something that they brought to our culture would be rich ancient history. For example the famous and inspirational pharaohs that contributed many things for their culture. Another example would be their pyramids. The way they designed them was so that when a pharaoh died their body would shoot out from the top of the pyramid and they would go directly to the afterlife. They also thought that the gods could come down and slide down the pyramid. These are the ways that Egypt is more influential than Mesopotamia.

I belive that Egyption Architecture is better. This is because they worship there Gods with pyramids which is k nown as the pharoahs tomb. Also because the pyramid is charecterized by massive stone elements and represents a star. Also was designed by the first architect Imhutep.

I believe that the ziggurat is the form of architecture that expresses the greatest religious power. I think this because the ziggurat was built specifically for the gods and the Mesopotamian rulers. The ziggurat was built as the dwelling of the Mesopotamian rulers which were classified as gods. Also, it was made with many stairways so in case the gods wanted to visit Earth, they could just come down nfrom heaven and walk down the steps.

DeleteI disagree because the Egyptians was more powerful and unique.This is because they believe that when you die you go up to the sky. This was also because their pyramids showed it.It was structure of life because it would last a lifetime.
DeleteWhich form of architecture expresses greater religious power? Egypt or Mesopotamia?
ReplyDeleteI think Egyptians express greater religious power. This is because there architecture is very dramatic but in a good way also because every piece of architecture tells a story to what they're trying to tell/say. For example, whenever they create a new piece of architecture they usually have a god. In conclusion, i think egyptians have greater power in expressing religious architecture.
-Chelsey ;)
I agree with you becuz egyptians really did make their architecture very dramatic. Also, they lso told stories about god what they are trying to tell us? :D
DeleteWe disagree with this statement. We believe that Mesopotamia has greater religious power. We think this because Mesopotamians created their ziggurats dedicated to their gods. We know that Egyptians made their pyramids like this too, but the Mesopotamians purpose is greater. Their purpose was more religious than that of the Egyptians. The Mesopotamian religious purpose was to be the dwelling of their rulers. Also, they wanted their gods’ visits to be easy and luxurious. They did this by making a lot of stairs so their gods could walk down from heaven. This is why we think that the Mesopotamian’s religious architectural purpose was superior to the Egypyians

I believe that both Egyptian and Mesopotamian architecture are good for many reasons. This is because they both are very detailed and descriptive. The Egypt’s build pyramids to honor their pharaohs or gods. They build tombs to prevent robbery. The Mesopotamians build ziggurats and that was one of the reasons that they were so good in architecture. In sum, they are both famous for many reasons.
ReplyDeleteMesopotamia was a very religious power for many reasons. This is because they built temples for their gods. The Egyptians just made pyramids to let their lost ones walk up to the sky.

ReplyDeleteI believe that the Mesopotamians that they are more powerful in their religion because they have the ziggurat that lives the ancient god king to live in. They respect their gods for the honor they brought to their civilization city - states. Daniel Mejia

I agree with you. I believe that the Mesopotamians had more religious power. Mesopotamia had more time to pray.

I think that Egyptian architecture is better than mesopotemia arcitecture because it is more traditianal and their arcitecture is very artistic from the way that they built the tower to pyramids has influenced arcitecture today.Also the egyptians had made art that supposebly reprsentsed stories that were about gods. In conclution, Egyptian art and arcitecture is more influenced and advanced than Mesoptamian arcitecture.
ReplyDeleteI think that Egyptian architecture is more religious in many ways.I think Egypt is mored religious in there architecture by worshiping their once alive pharaohs.For example,when a pharaoh dies they put them in a gigantic tomb called a pyramid.A pyramid is shaped in a triangle so that the pharaohs soul goes into heaven with the gods.Then Egypt also has ziggurats which is meant so a god would step down and save them.In conclusion,I think Egypt is more religious in their artchitecture.

ReplyDeleteiI belive that mesopatamian archtecture is better egyptian archture because mesopatama influced most of the egyptian arttecture. Also the mesopatamians worship Gods through art and arthtecture.

I believe that Mesoptamian architecture has a greater religous power this is because th buldings were bases on the gods. For example,the ziggurats were for the gods can come down to the land. Another example, is that the sculptues had half god and animals. In conclusion, Mesopotamian showed more religous power than the Egyptians.

In my opinoun I think the mesopotimia religion is most important in many ways. This is because it had better building,that ment it can be safer to other people. If they had war then they would have more protection. In sum this is better than Egytian religion.
ReplyDeleteI think mesopotamians is more religous. This Is Because they build there temple things like stairways so that the gods could come down. That shows that they care about their gods and what they beileived in. So..... In conclusion the mesopotamians were more religoius than Egyptians.
ReplyDeletemartin :D
I predict that the Egyptian s were more religious than the Mesopotamians. This is because the Egyptians built a building that allows the gods to walk down. This was built because based on their religion that’s how it would be. All of their statues were of there about the gods. They based their whole society off of their gods. For example, the building they built was in a shaped like stairs, so that gods could walk down on them. In conclusion, the Egyptians were the most religious people, in my opinion

i belive that egyptian architecture is beter than mesopotamian cause egytion archetecture has more like religious belifes than mesopotamian , this is beccause the zygarat was made for gods to walk down and come down to earth and mesopotamian art does not really have that much with religion . I belive that egytion art is better than mesoptamian.

I would want to say that Egyptian architecture is better. This is because Egyptian architecture shows more power. Also their architecture is based on Nature. For example, the pyramid is supposed to symbolize a mountain. Also the Egyptian art on the wall shows a story.

In my opinion I think that Mesopotamia has more power in many ways. This is because, in their ziggurats one thing that they show in them is that they have stair going up the ziggurats, so gods can come up and down from the sky. Also because if you look at their art, they put human heads and animal bodies. Or they do it the other way around, human body, and animal head. This is powerful because it shows how much they care about their own religion, and it also shows in their architecture. It is very cool to see all their art and architecture.
ReplyDeleteJillian Garcia
There are many reasons why the Mesopotamian architecture is more religious than Egyptian architecture. This is because in Mesopotamian architecture the main idea for the ziggurats is that the belief of Mythical gods to step down to Mesopotamia and for they could go back up. Egyptian architecture may be religious, but it is to represent the country of Egypt and their imagination. Another way is that the religion of the Egyptians were mostly described in art instead of architecture, Mesopotamian religions are described in both ways, art and architecture. In sum, there are many reasons why Mesopotamian architecture is more religious than Egyptian architecture.

In my opinion, I believe that Egyptians had more power than Mesopotamians. This is because Egyptians had many relationships with nature. For example, the Egyptians were known for constructing pyramids, but how did they come up with the idea to construct them in the form of a triangle? Egyptians always had a great relationship with nature and the Sun. the Sun provided the Egyptians with a triangular form for their pyramids. Pyramids were in charge of showing power and storing many important items that the Egyptians held. In conclusion, Egyptians were in charge of holding greater power than the Mesopotamians.

I believe that Mesopotamian architecture is more religious than Egyptian architecture. This is because the Mesopotamian ziggurat temple influenced the Mesopotamians created it to let the gods walk down to the Egyptian pyramids. The ziggurat was made to honor the gods. It allowed the gods to come down to Earth and back up to heaven. The Egyptians pyramids didn’t have steps to let the gods come down. In sum, the Mesopotamians were more religious in their architecture.

There are many reasons why Eygpt has greater religious power in aritecture than Mesopotaimia. This is because it has traditional structure.For example the pyramids always had symbols on it and have lots of stairs, so the gods could up or down. In coclusion, I predict that the egyptians were very religious.
ReplyDeleteAmmy Gonzales Stanford
we perdict that the egyptain architure is better than mesopotamians . this is because thy are more artisct than any other city state.the pryimad represents the sun and the ziggeas represents mountains
ReplyDeletetiffany and andres
I predict that Egyptian expresses greater religious. This is because Egyptians built buildings that lets the gods pass through. It was based on the Egyptians religions. Mostly all of there statues were about the gods. Like some buildings were built so the gods can walk down. Also because they wroshiped the gods.the created the zigguratesfor the gods to express there power. In conclusion that’s why I predict that the Egyptians were more religious on there architecture.

i think that both mesopotamians and Egyptian have good skills in art/architecture. this is because mesopatamians created ziggurats which are different than other buildings in the world! but the Egyptians had better art than mesopatamians . but mesopatamians had better architecture than the Egyptians cause of the ziggurats !
ReplyDeleteCrystal B. STANFORD! :P :D :) :(
I belive that egyptian architecture is better than mesopatamia architecture. This is because egyptian architecture is more of the pyramids and it has the carvings on the wall of the history.Lastley mesopotamia is more about the half person and animal thing which frankley does not interest me.So that is what I think is more interesting.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Iman because I also think that Egyptian architecture shows more religious values like when the Egyptians built the pyramids they meant it to connect with the stars and the souls of the pharaoh would shot up to the sky.
