The research clarifies the aspect of the monument, its position,
types and different forms since ancient times till now. It also shows
the development of its raw materials, ratio and fitness with the
space as well as the variations in its classifi
cation standards
throughout history. This research also handles the effective role of
a monumental work in fixing high values in human memory and
developing the architectural social reality and organizing the site
and place that it occupies not only making it beautiful.
The monument is a long term symbol embodied in the meanings
reflected by its artistic forms which are full of human and mental
senses.
This research approaches the issue of majority ignorance of the
importance and value of a monument in our countries. Arabic
people have a minor or even no knowledge at all of the statue.
Efforts should be made to strengthen the relationship between
individuals and monumental works as well as architecture in a way
that will bring positive results for both and for our homelands.
