Popis:	Analysis of the measurements of the three megaron-like temples at Megiddo proves that geometry of the square was in use in ancient architecture, as early as the 22nd century B. C. In addition, identifying the basic size of the cubit used in building the temples as the Mesopotamian measure-0.5485 m-shows the Mesopotamian affiliation of the temples, and allows their chronology to be determined. Dunayevsky and Kempinski correctly date Temple 4040 as being the earliest of the three, in opposition to Kenyon, who gave it a later date.
