Unit three. Egyptian architecture Egyptian architecture
1. Read the article about the Egyptian architecture. Fill in the blanks in the following article below:
Tomb, developed, towns, structures, climate, corpse, principal, materials, buildings, reproduce.
The two principal building _________ used in ancient Egypt were unbaked mud brick and stone. From the Old Kingdom onward stone was generally used for ________--the eternal dwellings of the dead--and for temples--the eternal houses of the gods. Mud brick remained the domestic material, used even for royal palaces; it was also used for fortresses, the great walls of temple precincts and towns, and for subsidiary buildings in temple complexes.
Most ancient Egyptian _________have been lost because they were situated in the cultivated and flooded area of the Nile Valley; many temples and tombs have survived because they were built on ground unaffected by the Nile flood. Any survey of Egyptian architecture will in consequence be weighted in favor of funerary and religious _______. Yet the dry, hot _________ of Egypt has allowed some mud brick __________ to survive where they have escaped the destructive effects of water or man.
Mortuary architecture in Egypt was highly _________ and often grandiose. The tomb was not simply a place in which a ________ might be protected from desecration. It was the home of the deceased, provided with material objects to ensure continued existence after death. Part of the tomb might ___________ symbolically the earthly dwelling of the dead person; it might be decorated with scenes that would enable the individual to pursue magically an afterlife suitable and similar to his worldly existence. For a king the expectations were quite different; for him the tomb became the vehicle whereby he might achieve his exclusive destiny with the gods in a celestial afterlife.
Most tombs comprised two _________ parts, the burial chamber (the tomb proper) and the chapel, in which offerings for the deceased could be made. In royal burials the chapel rapidly developed into a temple, which in later times was usually built separately and at some distance from the tomb.
