México - Tepoztlán P yramids, architecture and culture are all part of Tepoztlán's history. With a population of 13,000, Tepoztlán incorporates Mexico's three cultures in its local traditions and in the beautiful architecture that adorns the landscape. To the right is a an exterior view of Tepoztlán's convent, which is no longer in use. Upon rising of the moon between the mountain peaks of Tepoztlán appears a sight that is without equal. The church of Santa Maria de Natividad was build in the sixteenth century. There are traditional festivals throughout the year. Picture to the left is the "Brinco," a traditional celebration that features singing, dancing and music of the Chinelos. Situated in the hills at an elevation of 1,700 meters, Tepoztlán is home to marvellous views of the countryside. Pictured to the right are tourists hiking to reach the Tepozteco pyramid.

    Maya Architecture and Road Systems

    The Maya built many different buildings. such as huge pyramids, temples and palaces. The temples were painted red and blue or covered with white stucco and then polished to make the temple shine. Occasionally a newer temple would be built on top of an old one to make another layer. Sometimes the temples would grow up to 70 meters high. Here is an animated sequence on How to Build a Pyramid Nobles and priests were actually the only people who lived in the cities. They mostly spent their time in small dark rooms in their palaces. The Maya did not have metal, they only had tools made from stone, wood, bone or shell and they didn't even have the wheel yet. So the Maya had trouble building their temples, palaces and pyramids. The Maya had sweat houses to cure diseases and also had ball courts. They had normal houses as well for the ordinary people. The use of plaster and burnt lime was very important to the Mayan architecture. The rooms are usually thin and rectangular shaped with hardly any windows. The decorations in rooms mostly have masks, human figures and geometric forms. The cap of the room which is constructed of concrete is gently rounded or sloped to drain off the heavy tropical rains. The difference between Mayan pyramids and Egyptian pyramids is that the Mayan ones had flat tops, they're formed in steps and supported buildings on the top. The buildings were usually temples.

Corinna Rossi's Architecture and Mathematics in Ancient Egypt is the revised version of the author's doctoral dissertation submitted to the University of Cambridge. The main purpose of the book is to analyze aspects of Egyptian architectural design in relation to select mathematical phenomena that are specifically Egyptian. Rossi maintains that scholars have mostly approached Egyptian architecture from modern mathematical perspectives rather than from the perspective of Egyptian mathematics itself. The other major error against which Rossi cautions time and again is the search by modern scholars for geometrical relations within plans of Egyptian monuments. The author argues that although many of these relations are possible to discover a posteriori from the plan, this does not necessarily mean that they were intended by the builders, or that they truly constituted the geometric bases of the designs. This is a problem that in fact pervades the study of ancient and medieval monuments in general. Rossi also very explicitly signals throughout the book that she does not intend to unfold 'mysteries' or 'secrets' about Egyptian monuments as many have tried to do since time immemorial, or provide formulae that will explain proportions in Egyptian architecture, arguing that whatever formulae or mathematical devices the Egyptians resorted to must have been very simple and straightforward rather than esoteric. Regardless of secrets and formulae, however, in a book with the present title, one still would have liked to see clearer elements of

Probably the most famous structure in all of Egypt, the Pyramids are still on of the worlds best architectural achievement, even though they were built many centuries ago. These structures can be as tall as 482 feet (147 m) high. The Pyramid towers over many other famous landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty. The first true pyramid was build at saqqara for the king Zoser. It was called a step pyramid because of its step shape. The later pyramids were smooth sided, like the Great Pyramid at Giza, built for the king Khufu about 4,500 years ago. The smooth sided pyramid was built from the Dynasty IV and on. They were built by first having men chisel the block of granite the way that they wanted it. The stonemasons used special rods to check that a stone block was cut accurately. Next, the blocks stayed in the quarry until the flood season. They did this so they could use barges to haul over the heavy granite blocks. Once the boast had arrived near the pyramid and unloaded the blocks, they were hauled up a ramp. Then, ropes and levers were used to maneuver the huge blocks into position. The overseer checked that every block was laid correctly. Once all of the granite blocks were placed in place, laborers rubbed the casing blocks with polishing stones until they would shine in the sun. The overseers used plump lines to check that the angle of the slope was correct.

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/pyramids/djoser.html
STEPPING TOWARD A TRUE PYRAMID
Intended to hold his mummified body, Pharaoh Djoser's Step Pyramid at Saqqara began as a traditional, flat-roofed mastaba. But by the end of his 19-year reign, in 2611 B.C., it had risen to six stepped layers and stood 204 feet (62 meters) high. It was the largest building of its time As in earlier mastaba tombs, the Step Pyramid's burial chambers are underground , hidden in a maze of tunnels, probably to discourage grave robbers. The tomb was nevertheless plundered, and all that remains of Djoser, the third king of Egypt's 3rd dynasty ( time line ), is his mummified left foot.

    Although many readers of this archive might find an article on mathematics and architecture a little surprising, in fact architecture was in ancient times considered a mathematical topic and the disciplines have, up to the present time, retained close connections. Perhaps once one realises that mathematics is essentially the study of patterns, the connection with architecture becomes clearer. Salingaros writes in [27]:- Historically, architecture was part of mathematics, and in many periods of the past, the two disciplines were indistinguishable. In the ancient world, mathematicians were architects, whose constructions - the pyramids, ziggurats, temples, stadia, and irrigation projects - we marvel at today. In Classical Greece and ancient Rome, architects were required to also be mathematicians. When the Byzantine emperor Justinian wanted an architect to build the Hagia Sophia as a building that surpassed everything ever built before, he turned to two professors of mathematics geometers , Isidoros and Anthemius , to do the job. This tradition continued into the Islamic civilization. Islamic architects created a wealth of two-dimensional tiling patterns centuries before western mathematicians gave a complete classification.

After these came the step-pyramid at Sakkara , built c.2620 B.C. , which soon evolved into the straight-sided true pyramid. This monumental structure was developed around the IV dynasty and continued to be the favored form for royal burial through the VI dynasty. Each monarch built his own pyramid in which his mummified body might be preserved for eternity away from human view and sacrilege. As a result of the lack of sophisticated machinery, the construction of each pyramid took many years and required measureless amounts of building materials and labor. Entrance into a pyramid is through an opening in the northern wall. A small passage, traversing lesser chambers, leads to the sepulchral room deep beneath the surface. Stone blocks forming a gable divert the weight of the great masonry masses over these chambers. Though the pyramids were usually built of rough stone blocks laid up in horizontal courses, many were constructed of mud bricks with a stone casing. The three pyramids of Giza near Cairo, all of the IV dynasty, are the largest and finest of their kind. The Great Pyramid of

    Why Study Architecture?
    Rob Shearer Because children are naturally interested in it. It is as natural as building with blocks and there are many possibilities for hands-on projects. Studying architecture can enhance the study of a historical period or foreign culture. The architecture of a period or a people can tell us a great deal about who they were. It tells us much about what they considered beautiful and what principles they valued. The Egyptian pyramid, the Greek temple, the Roman city, the Gothic cathedral, the modern sky-scraper - each of these tells us something significant about the people who created them.

    The Writing System The Egyptians developed a highly advanced system of writing. From pictographs painted upon Naquada pottery, a method of using pictures as meanings for sounds and objects evolved into a form of picture-writing, called hieroglyphics. Hundreds of pictures each had different meanings, but when arranged together and read from right to left, formed complex sentences and declared the names of the kings that used the language. Hieroglyphics were the earliest form of writing in Egypt, the most popular, and the longest lasting (Davies 1987:10). Two other forms of writing developed during the late Fourth Dynasty, heiratic and demotic, a type of cursive writing similar to Arabic and using no pictures. Writing styles and texts created during the Old Kingdom were referred to as "Old Egyptian."
    Hieroglyphics. (Fagan 2001:112)
    Art and Architecture
    The art and architecture of the Old Kingdom is very distinctive. both the paintings and the sculpture are characterized by earth tone colors, wide, smooth facial features, and thick lower bodies, especially around the ankles. The sculptures of Prince Rahotep and his wife are excellent examples, as well as the sculpture of Khafre, one of the pharaoh builders of the pyramids at Giza.
