Our most recent lectures about Michelangelo, Bernini, etc catches my interest through their beautiful sculpting. But nothing has interested me more than the rock cut temples we studied. When one thinks of a building, they think building something out of nothing. But this work was not just beautifully design but was created through carving and sculpting rock. Specifically Queen Hatshepsut Temple, the art of carving an entire temple, before advanced tools came about, amazes me. Through out the history lecture, you watch architecture evolve; structurally, decoratively, religiously, but I believe the rock cut temples was ahead of its time. Rather moving forward with rock cut temples, I believe it is unachievable now.
