We chose to go to two different locations. The Temple of Debod and the Almudena Cathedral. The reason for this choice was to look into the differences and similarities of two different religious sites. What is the significance in the major differences between the discreteness of the Egyptian temple in comparison to the vulgarious and flashy cathedral. There were many differences I'm regards of size and in that sense very few similarities. Many wondered how come the temple was so small when we know for a fact that the Egyptians had the resources and abilities to build huge monuments as a pyramid for an example. This might be because the Egyptians are more modest since the pyramids are also extremely simple but also the fact that this had been moved from Egypt to Spain and therefore we suggested that there could be the possibility of this being a smaller temple and that they might have huge temples around different locations in Egypt.
A similarity between the two were the many depictions of their gods, Jesus in the case of the cathedral and different Egyptian gods in the temples case.
