From the Paper:

"The architecture of ancient Egypt was beautiful. There were many pyramids and other architectural structures that made ancient Egypt very unique from other communities. Some of the structures that could be seen during the ancient Egyptian era include the Sphinx, the pyramids of Giza, and the fortresses. These were all beautiful structures that made ancient Egypt a beautiful place to raise a family. The Egyptian people generally used mud, brick and stone to construct their buildings and it was through the use of these materials that many of the structures from ancient Egypt still remain today."
