Ancient Egyptians houses

The ancient Egyptians built very simple houses by present standards. Having dried the bricks in the sun, they put up four walls, and above these they placed a flat roof. The roof was flat because there was very little rain in Egypt. Although their buildings were simple in construction, the Egyptian art of building was very beautiful. Their pyramids and monuments, sphinxes and palaces arouse our wonder to this day. An important part in the history of building has been played by the column, and it was ancient Egypt that gave the world its first lessons in the art of making columns. The Greeks learned much from Egypt. But they did not borrow the flat roof. They built a slanting roof because there was much rain in their country. The Greeks made the roof slant in two directions from the middle. They also improved on Egypt's columns and soon became the teachers of the world in column making. The Romans, in turn, learned much from the Greeks. First of all, they borrowed the slanting roof and the columns. But they added the arch, thus adding much strength arid beauty to their buildings.

On average we spend a third of our lives sleeping, but no one really knows why. The most popular theory is that sleeping gives the body and brain a chance to recover from the stresses of the day. But beyond this vague statement, we don’t know what this recuperation consists of. Warm-blooded species, including humans, birds, and mammals, seem to need more sleep than cold-blooded creatures such as fish and reptiles. So there is a possibility that we sleep in order to save energy.
