Explain the construction of megalithic architecture and dome
building, tracing its history from pre-historic art to the Renaissance.

in Newgrange, Ireland and connect these innovations with subsequent examples
of the tholos tombs in Greece, to the Pantheon in Rome and conclude with the
Florence Cathedral. Your discussion should include a definition of terms you

the connections these buildings have in common.
