Early Christian Architecture was influenced a lot by Ancient Roman Architecture, which is characterized by repitition of arches. In this time, they actually converted old Roman buildings into religious structures, like the basilicas. On the other hand, Byzantine Architecture was inspired by Moorish Architecture because of the spread of Islam during that time. It is characterized by the addition of pointed elements, particularly in the dome. They introduce the onion dome, addition of pinnacles, turretts(not sure of the spelling), colorful mosaic murals, and introduction of colored buildings. Early Christian architecture and early Byzantine architecture are one and the same, as the Byzantine (or Romans as they called themselves) were in fact the early christians. The Moors were not invented at the time. The Mosque archetype in Ottoman architecture (which in popular terms counts as "Moorish"), as well as the Rock Mosque in Jerusalem, draw partly their architectural language from the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul, which at the time of erection was the largest church of Christianity.

They were tall stone columns used to support buildings. They were used for support, so although the Greeks made every effort to make then appear to be straight, they were sometimes slightly tilted for best support. There were three main styles of Greek columns.Doric columns: Tall simple columns. The had round tops and no bases. Decoration was a minimum, and usually consisted of fluted lines running lengthwise down the column, if there was any decoration at all.Ionic columns: These were slighty dressier, and often had scrollwork at the top and or bottom of the column. Sometimes the entire column was carved out to be a statue of a god, goddess, or hero. When they were not carved into characters, they were more heavily fluted than the Doric columns.Corinthean columns: These were very eleaberate and elegant columns. They were slender compared to the Doric and Ionic columns, and the detail work was more intricate and leafy. The tops and bases were heavily decorated. The Temple of Zues is noted for its use of this type of column.
Hello, if you are curious about how Egyptian engineers built the Horus Temple and Edfu Temple, featuring numerous high columns with widths exceeding 3 meters and heights surpassing 20 meters, they employed an interesting method. The engineers began by constructing a temporary support structure using soil and small stones, providing stability and a foundation for the colossal columns to ascend. As the construction progressed, stones were meticulously added, ensuring a secure and stable ascent. This step-by-step process allowed the builders to reach the desired height without compromising the structural integrity of the columns. Once the column reached its summit, the meticulous craftsmanship did not cease. The surface of the column was polished to perfection, creating a smooth and gleaming exterior. Skilled artisans then carved intricate hieroglyphs into the stone, narrating stories of gods, pharaohs, and ancient myths. Vibrant paintings adorned the columns, adding a splash of color to the grand hall.

The primary difference between Hindu and Islamic architecture is that Hindu architecture incorporates figural art, primarily through sculpture and carved frescoes. Islamic architecture focuses on geometric and abstract designs as Islam does not permit artistic representations of human figures to prevent idolatry.
