The temple at Karnak, speaks clearly of the system of arrangement the Egyptians had. The Tent Pole Columns, stand erect in a row, behind the outer wall of the temple, signifying support, as well as reflect back on the earliest of Egypt's structures and their wood counterparts. The structures seem to be serving the purpose of burying a soldier of war in his tent, which is really where a soldier belongs. For example the tent Pole columns in Tuthmosis III temple maybe were modeled after the actual wooden poles of his military tent, serving as association of the buried man to the army. .
Although no sort of order was prevalent during the era, but Egyptians seemed to symbolize their architecture, with columns, which served as a representative of the era the building was built in. The Fluted Column, the palmiform column, lotiforn columns, Papyriform Columns, Cuneiform columns, Tent Pole columns, Campaniform Columns, Composite Columns, Hathoric Columns and Osiride Pillars, were all a major part of architectures, which had a purpose to serve. The first four mentioned columns were actually originated to support and decorate non-secular buildings. This may be for the reason that when one would look at the architecture, the mind would suddenly relate it to the Egyptian culture. .
Romans considered it their role to raise the quality of the whole human race, so it automatically became important for them to give way to hubris. The Greco-Roman building systems, therefore, have reflections of moral qualities. When compared to the Egyptian civilization which is earlier in the time-line the Greeks first of all had developed an architectural vocabulary for themselves. Classical Greek architecture consisted of three orders--the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Each represented the assembly of the basic components of a simple rectangular building with a pitched roof, that is, COLUMN, CAPITAL, ENTABLATURE, and PEDIMENT.
