To match their big ego's.
There were, in ancient Egypt many temples to Anubis, his chief cult cities were Cynopolis and Lycopolis (called so by the ancient Greeks).
They were places to house the gods and conduct ceremonies and make offerings to them.
There were many Temples of Apollo, so yes one or two may have been destroyed, rebuilt, and so on over time. Were talking about time spanning from ancient history to here and now, however, and not even modern science can tell that with much accuracy. Unless a temple was destroyed in a big event (earthquake, volcano) or war, we can only guess.
Greek life was dominated by religion and so it is not surprising that the temples of ancient Greece were the biggest and most beautiful.They also had a political purpose as they were often built to celebrate civic power and pride, or offer thanksgiving to the patron deity of a city for success in war.
He was supposed to be the creator of mankind. They first held the Olympics for him (though it was not annual and it lasted at most a week, if not less than a day!), and there were many, many, many (ect.) temples and statues for him.

Egypt is basically a big dessert with a river the river Nile flowing in the middle where the vegetation is green and the land is fertile. So one can say that it is very beautiful along the river Nile where all the ancient Pyramids and Temples are.
so all of the men could be connected to the gods in each city

So far we have discovered 39 Ancient Greek temples. However there are likely to be many more lying undiscovered. It's also possible that evidence of some temples have been completely destroyed by nature or humans. See the related links below.
No other civilization built temples or pyramids and these stand as monuments such as The Great Pyramid that still stands today. A king named Khufu built this. The Great Pyramid is know as one of the 7 Ancient Wonders of the world.
studying stuff found in pyramids...artifacts...
So people that live in the place of the temples can worship their Gods.
It depends upon what time period! There were several capitals over the millenniums, Luxor, Thiebs, to mention just two. Also Alexandria after Greek conquest. So you need a time period to get a specific answer.
