The extent to which art and architecture develop in a society will be the extent to which the society as a whole will be considered talented. Even such ancient societies like the Egyptian, Mesopotamian. Chinese, Indian and Greek are famous in History for their attainments in the field of art. Art includes the fine arts and architecture is also an art but it is generally distinguished because of its special nature. Sculpture, painting, music, even poetry are usually treated as fine arts but architecture has its own dimensions which give it a spacious personality. Every art is associated with science. Music with the physics of sound, painting with perspective vision, literature with linguistics; similarly architecture is controlled as well as assisted by engineering. So a society which is advanced in the arts can be seen to be proficient in the sciences also. It has been therefore truly stated that architecture is the matrix of civilization. The architectural remains are the main visible records of men through the different ages of his historical evolution. When historical records fail us either on account of their scarcity or their doubtful nature we may find architecture a useful auxiliary in elucidating many obscure matters of history.
