v7.c47.3237
It does not seem probable that any one person could have invented all the styles of architecture at one time and issued them as a royal command; they are more likely to have arisen out of the local circumstances at different periods, before they were recorded, presumably first in the architectural treatises and then in the epigraphical records.
