A várak a középkori főurak jól védhető lakhelyei. Magasra építették, illetve tornyokkal látták el, hogy messzire elláthassanak. A vár legfontosabb lakói a fegyveresek voltak: lovagok, íjászok, lovászok, testőrző vitézek s persze a gyalogság, kapuőrök, fegyverkovácsok.
Szabályos alaprajzú várak sík terepen épültek. Vizesárokkal és várfallal vették körül.
A szabálytalanok a hegyvidékek várai, várkastélyai, melye sziklaszirtekre, hegyormokra, fennsíkokra épültek. Vizesárok és várfal itt is fontos védelmi része volt a váraknak. A falak tetejét fogazatos pártával építették. A falak fedett folyosóit gyilokjárónak nevezzük. A vár sarkain őrtornyok, bástyák segítették a jó

Egyiptomi istenek


 

Az ókori egyiptomban sokáig több istent tiszteltek.

Hitük szerint a fáraó közvetít az istenek és az emberek között.
Feladata, hogy isten nevében rendet tegyen az emberek között.


Általában ember alakban, de különös fejjel, fejdísszel jelentek meg. Az istenekhez tartozó állatokat a valóságban is szentként tisztelték.
 Pl. macska, szkarabeusz bogár.

 
A hatalmas templomok is azért épültek, hogy szentélyükben elhelyezzék az istenszobrot.
Luxor
 Ahova csak a fáraó és a főpapok léphettek be a szertartások és ünnepségek alkalmával.
