The ancient Egyptians discovered how to cut stone for building purposes. They
erected temples, palaces and huge tombs. The greatest tomb is the stone pyramid
of Khufu ['ku'fu], the king of Egypt. The ancient Egyptians often erected their huge
buildings without thinking of their usefulness. The ancient Greeks also understood
the art of building with cut stone, and their buildings were beautiful as well as useful.
They often used pillars, partly for supporting the roofs and partly for decoration.
Parts of these ancient building can still be seen today in Greece.
During the last hundred years many new methods of building have been
discovered. One of the most recent discoveries is the usefulness of steel as a building
material.
Nowadays when it is necessary to have a very tall building, the frame of it is first
built in steel and then the building is completed in concrete. Concrete is an artificial
kind of stone, much cheaper than brick or natural stone and much stronger than they
are.
