Clothing: Costume, Fashion and Makeup
Architecture
The architechture of the Ancient World started very primitave, with protection and survival as its primary object. As man began to understand more of the world around them, buildings transitiond from roughly made huts of sticks, mud and/or animal hides to huge, ornate temples, palaces and monuments made out of stone, marble and granite.
The clothing of the Anicient World also started very simple. Its primary function was protection, both from the elements and from physical harm. SImilarly, clothing started with more basic materials, including hides and grasses, to woven or spunfabrics, such as linen or wool.
During this time man developed, in some places, from nomadic tribes into large, advanced civilizations. Throughout this society structure and religious ideals developed. Priests and holy men transitioned into kings.
