Structures like Stonehenge and the Eiffel Tower are usually considered as architecture, although I would classify Stonehenge as more of an engineering feat.
Both Stonehenge and the Eiffel Tower are primarily considered architecture rather than sculpture. Architecture involves the design and construction of buildings or structures that serve a functional purpose, whereas sculpture is typically created as a standalone art form for aesthetic expression. Stonehenge and the Eiffel Tower were designed and built to serve specific purposes (historical, cultural, and functional for the Eiffel Tower).
Before arches, ancient civilizations used post-and-lintel structures to support heavy loads. These structures consisted of two vertical posts with a horizontal lintel placed on top. This technique was commonly used in buildings and monuments such as Stonehenge.
The Kanuri tribe, known for their intricate mud-brick structures, has had a significant influence on Hausa architecture. Their use of unique decorative elements such as geometric patterns and vegetal motifs can be seen in many buildings in the region.
The neolithic people created megalithic structures like Stonehenge in England and the statues of Easter Island. These sculptures were often associated with religious or ceremonial purposes and were made using large stones or rocks.
The Roman civilization is best known for its use of arches. They extensively used the arch in their architecture, including in famous structures such as the Colosseum and aqueducts. The invention and mastery of the arch allowed the Romans to create grand and durable structures that still stand today.
Rice farming structures have been around for thousands of years, with evidence of their existence dating back to ancient civilizations such as those in China and India. The specific age of individual structures can vary, but the overall practice of rice farming is considered to be very ancient.
