Classmate’s response ( I believe Great Pyramids, from the Old Kingdom, have been the most influential for ancient Egyptian architecture. These pyramids are iconic and are one of the most well-known cultural landmarks in the world, let alone the best recognized works of architecture from the Old Kingdom. The pyramids are not only architecturally pristine, but are symbolic of the structured, orderly, and stately world ordered by royalty that ancient Egypt is still remembered and famous for. In fact, the pyramids are named after ancient Egyptian rulers: Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. The pyramids, while grandiose and gargantuan, are unique and do not err on the side of ostentation. Instead, the adherence to order and symmetry, largely due to the ashlar masonry construction style of the Great Pyramids, gives the structures their iconic balance of stateliness and aesthetically pleasing simplicity in order.)
