Prehistoric humans began by living in caves but eventually constructed more permanent shelters as communities developed. Early structures were influenced by the local environment and materials available and often consisted of megalithic structures like menhirs, dolmens, and cromlechs. Early Egyptian architecture focused on temples and tombs meant to honor leaders in life and ensure their prosperous afterlife, seen in structures like mastabas, temples, and the famous pyramids. Architecture evolved significantly from temporary shelters to large permanent settlements and ceremonial sites over the course of prehistory and ancient history.
