The Pyramids of Egypt are as fascinating as they are breathtaking. Although there is a lot of speculation and rumour about the building of the pyramids, Egyptologists have uncovered an impressive amount of archaeological evidence to explain the mechanics of the building and function of these ancient monuments. By visiting the pyramids in chronological order you can bear witness to a logical evolution of the pyramid design.As well as rebuilding and restoration in the Roman Forum, Augustus also added buildings to it, such as the Temple of the Divine Julius. He built it after the senate deified Caesar dedicating it in 29 BC. He tells us in his Res Gestae that it was he who began building it in honour of his adoptive father. The temple was important as it connected Augustus to a god, giving hints that he may become a god, which links to his theme of religion and deification. As everyone in Rome could be involved in religious activities, portraying himself as likely to become a god he was already persuading them to worship him. Literary source Virgil picked up on this in his poem Aeneid; book 1 “he too shall be called upon in prayer.” This backs up the theme Augustus is trying to portray. At the front of the temple was a semi-circular recess where a small altar stood.
