Pertinax Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hyperstyle Hall Karnak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 What is the hyperstile? But I would say the Sistine Chapel, because of the tombs that lie beneaths it. But from your choices, the Hagia Sophia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from your choices, the Hagia Sophia. The Hyperstyle? the largest Religious site on earth. Youve seen it in films many times, I think Indy has visited! It is at Karnak adjacent to El-Uxor (luxor) in Egypt. Googling will give you the info. Edited November 28, 2005 by Pertinax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantagathus Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 (edited) Most of what's on UNESCO's World Heritage List! Hmmm.... So many..... I'll just say the Minoan Palace of Knossoss on Crete Edited November 29, 2005 by Pantagathus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 (edited) Holy Mother, those columns are massives. But I still would keep my answer, well those columns are huge, but nothing that the Romans can build.

Princeps Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Taj mahal(sp)? p.s, do you mean parthenon? I think Pantheon means some sort of covenant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 The Parthenon the is the one based in Greece that is devoted to Zeus. The Pantheon, I think you mistakenly forgotten but no harm, is the one in Rome that is dedicated to all the main Roman Gods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 But the Parthenon is absolutely a great monument, you should add it to the list along with the other Great Wonders. Would the Hadrian wall be considered a monument figuratively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorius Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 How about the Dome of Rock (sp)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
