المنزل على طراز ميجارون
Explanation:
Later in the Stone Age, people began to build more substantial houses. These had stone foundations and mud-brick walls, and were a little larger. They also began to build stone and mud-brick walls around their villages. But there were still no roads or bridges.

Megaron House
In the Late Neolithic, about 4000 BC, new ways of doing things came to Greece, probably from West Asia. One of these new things was a way to build a bigger house: the megaron, or "big room" house. A megaron house was a large rectangular room, sometimes with a curved apse at one end, and with a porch at the other end, like this one.
