Egypt- Stacking, ornament, hieroglyphics, story telling, preparation for the afterlife, grand mass. It gave inspiration for the next empires to be built upon.

Greece- stacking, circles, straight lines across the earth, ornament, story telling, grandeur, building monuments to the Gods. Attention to detail, and thought out spatial plans. More emphasis on hierarchy of the Gods in their polytheistic religion.

Rome- built as a market place, as a place to worship, and to collect ideas. It was the epicenter of the world during its time as the largest empire. Buildings, and design far surpassed the ones that preceded them. Concepts revolved around circles, stacking, and straight lines across the earth still, but were perfected.
