Egypt influenced the Romanesque period as far as the use of quarried stone to build with, and the use of the arch,barrel vault,and columns to build massive structures. Also used by the Romans were the Egyptian techniques of adornment[carving of statues,use of releif sculpture,and painting of frescoes on walls]. However, though the Romans were influenced by the Egyptians, they took the basics and made it their own, and built upon the ideas, e.g. barrel vaults became grion vaults[2 barrel vaults joined by a vaulted passage way].
