::Please don't post requests such as this on the discussion page. This is not a blog rather a place where you can discuss proposed additions to the article. To be fair though, I would suggest that you check out Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae (it has one Corinthian column inside the cella, and it is the earliest known Corinthian column found to date) - See Bassae and Corinthian order.

message: Back in September Anonymous User:205.202.120.210 "correcrted" all the BCE references to BC. Not the kind of thing a responsible, logged-in adult Wikipedia would have done, I'm sure. I've fixed them and left a discreet commented-out reminder at the head of the html. --Wetman (talk) 07:28, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The following external link has been inserted here and at various other articles: www.fungitecture.com A sense of what's up with this ican be had from the following introductory statement: "The term Fungitecture was coined to describe the peculiar resemblance between certain ancient styles of monumental architecture and the fruit of one or other species of fungus. However, Fungitecture also serves as an umbrella term covering a much wider field of human endeavour, wherever fungus imagery, lore or substance may have been invoked." There are no references to any responsible peer-reviewed literature, needless to say. This does not show Wikipedia in a flattering light, in my opinion.--Wetman (talk) 01:58, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The following statement has something wrong with it.
'The name "Corinthian" is derived from the Greeks of Corinth, although its own in Roman practice....' 
Could someone please fix this. I can't imagine what it means.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.235.212.17 (talk) 16:43, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Meaningless sentence 

message: Why does the description start with the Roman Corinthian order
instead of the Greek Corinthian order, given that this is an ancient
Greek architectural style that originated in Corinth long before 
the Romans started using it ?  What is more amazing is that there 
is no Greek examples until the "history" section.÷  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.184.142.229 (talk) 06:06, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

See http://www.architecturalbling.com/corinthian.html: 
"The Corinthian order is the last chronologically of the three principal classical orders of ancient Greek and Roman architecture..." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cesca1910 (talk • contribs) 05:02, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Given that the blog text with no time stamp is one long run-on paragraph, it seems likely that it was plagiarized from the Wikipedia article. A Google search in books for this text came up with no other results. Carlstak (talk) 12:04, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article starts with a long text that is identical to a blog: which came first?  

message: I'm noticing that there's no photos from the actual place where this style originated; not just Corinth itself but Greece in general...
How can that be made right? Onoufrios d (talk) 08:23, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: A time machine? The Romans ground the place into dust.  There aren't actually that many in and from Ancient Greece, but I've added the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates with early if battered examples. Johnbod (talk) 15:06, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

message: In the ancient capital city Petra in modern day Jordon there are some temples carved in to the stone cliffs between 500-300BC. The so called Pharaoh's Treasury or as it is known the Al-Khazhe faroune has Corinthian capitals perhaps Composta capitals.  Another iconic monument is dubbed the Monastery, also sports Corinthian capitals. The ancient site of Petraea has been occupied for well over 10,000 years as a place of refuge and protection by the Arabian peoples. Nabataea Petraea Arabia became a powerful wealthy commercial trade center in control of the incense trade routes bringing precious exotic resources from all over the East. Every caravan had to pass through Petraea, report to the authority and pay taxes before being authorized to proceed to the coastal port cities of Gaza and Ashkelon where they would be distributed by merchant ships to the major cities through out the Mediterranean basin. The Nabataeans kings and queens were of Arabian Greek descent and had close family ties with royal Egyptian Ptolemies.
