Arches

        During these periods when they already had roman arches they later thought of making the churches bigger and have more room for "God" in them so they figured out a way to make them bigger even though they had an idea on how to make them bigger; the Gothic arches were specifically designed to hold a larger scale building because if they had continued using the roman arches the build could of soon collapsed as  it was created because of the weight of the building.
         Even though they had roman arches it would not be enough to support the project of expanding the cathedrals and then supporting the addition of weight that would come after the increase in size of the building. The pointed arches that were used in the new churches were exactly the reason why they can build them so large, because it can support the weight that the roman arches can not and therefore the reason why they were not used for the new designs of the cathedrals.

Ancient Greece

                 Greek art in comparison to Egyptian art to me is no contest just for the simple fact that Greek art is so much more advanced than Egyptian art is. The Greeks and their vast wanting for knowledge usually took from other societies to build upon their own. What they took from the Egyptian culture was how to sculpt, but what they did to improve on how to do so is why they are still being compared to current and other ancient art today.
              Egyptian art in comparison to Greek art would not be fair just because of what the Greeks learned of art had to do partly with what the Egyptians used, but the Greeks just built up on what they learned and greatly increased on what techniques on how to define and make the human body look more perfect in the eyes of the artist.
                 Egyptian art is still great to look at and study like for example,
"King Mankaure (also know as Mycerimus) and his queen (probably Kha_merer-nebty II)"
 
a prime example of early ancient egyptian sculpture which looks kind of plain when it comes to details and also what its made out of, and this is what the greeks took from them and evolved it into something that we still admire today.
"‘Laocoon and His Sons’ -Ancient Greek art 25BC. White Marble. The statue is attributed to Greek sculptures Agesander, Athenodoros and Polydorus."

When people look at this and see the vast difference between the two works of art; they can tell that greek art has more to it and a ton more definition, structure, and also technology compared to egyptian art work.
