Question

The rich and powerful construct large houses today. In what ways were the constructions of kings and their courtiers different in the past?

Answer 1

The rich and powerful construct large houses today. But these houses are not the same as those of the kings and their courtiers in the past. The houses of the kings and their courtiers were big structures with big courtyard, thick walls, domed-roofs, huge pillars, big gardens and well-decorated halls. But today houses have no courtyards nor gardens nor thick walls nor domed-roofs. In many ways these are inferior to those of the kings and their courtiers houses.
