The Stepped Pyramid reflects the mud brick and hand crafted stone brick construction used in Ancient Egypt. The Temple of Luxor shows the commonly used decorated Pylons, the Sphinx' lining the entrance and the Obelisk in the centre. The Temple of Hatshepsut was for the first female pharoah, incorporating the smoothed stone brick structure, and the use of columns and of stairs.
The movement was a huge revelation of the time and is interesting and insightful to see the monumental structures built with lack of industrialism and technology. I like the movement as it was the foundation for further architecture.
