[1] Stonehenge – a prehistoric, mysterious circle of upright stones in southern England. Construction on the great monument began 5,000 years ago; the famous stones that still stand today were put in place about 4,000 years ago.

[2] Salisbury Plain – one of Great Britain’s best-known open spaces, consisting of a plateaulike area covering about 300 square miles (775 square km), in the county of Wiltshire, England.

[3] Trilithon –a structure consisting of two large vertical stones (posts) supporting a third stone set horizontally across the top (lintel). It is commonly used in the context of megalithic monuments. The most famous trilithons are those of Stonehenge in England and those found in the Megalithic temples of Malta, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

[4] Hypostyle hall – interior space whose roof rests on pillars or columns. The word means literally “under pillars” and the design allows for the construction of large spaces – as in temples, palaces, or public buildings – without the need for arches.

[5] M astaba – (meaning "house for eternity" or "eternal house"), is a type of ancient Egyptian tomb in the form of a flat-roofed, rectangular structure with outward sloping sides that marked the burial site of many eminent Egyptians of Egypt's ancient period.

It is a city of temples built over 2000 years and dedicated to the Theben triad of Amun, Mut and Khonsu.

It was destroyed along with much of the town in the London fire of 11 April 1845.
