The Egyptian contribution to architecture was more concerned with remembering the dead than the living.

The Egyptian contribution to architecture was more concerned

Summary

This quote suggests that the primary focus of Egyptian architecture was centered around memorializing and honoring the deceased, rather than catering to the needs and comfort of the living population. Egyptian architectural structures such as pyramids, tombs, and temples were designed to serve as grand monuments and eternal resting places for the dead. This emphasis on remembering the deceased illustrates the strong cultural and religious beliefs of the ancient Egyptians regarding the afterlife and the importance of preserving the memory of the departed.
