A temple (from the Latin word templum) is a structure reserved for religious or spiritual activities, such as prayer and sacrifice, or analogous rites. A templum constituted a sacred precinct as defined by a priest, or augur. It has the same root as the word "template," a plan in preparation of the building that was marked out on the ground by the augur. Templa also became associated with the dwelling places of a god or gods. The word "temple" dates to about the 6th century BCE. Despite the specific set of meanings associated with the religion of the ancient Rome, the word has now become quite widely used to describe a house of worship for any number of religions and is even used for time periods prior to the Romans.
Göbekli Tepe, located in southern Turkey, is the oldest-known, existing temple in the world. It was built approximately 11,000 years ago.
The temple of Mesopotamia derived from the cult of gods and deities in Mesopotamian religion. It spanned several civilizations; from Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, and Babylonian. The most common temple architecture of Mesopotamia is the structure of sun-baked bricks called Ziggurat, having the form of a terraced step pyramid with flat upper terrace where shrine or temple stood
Mode (etymology from Latin modus: "manner, tune, measure, due measure, rhythm, melody") may mean:
You're a lady I know baby
And I'm a man, I know that too
So this might come as some surprise, a bit unusual
When I lay down the rules
You got my heart, now you want my body
Keep my cool, girl you lucky you's a hottie
Ain't no games that I play that you can win
If you want inside my temple I'm gonna have to let you in
You're holding out for sweet surrender, baby yeah
It won't be coming no time soon
Our love has just begun to simmer
And when it boils you'll be cooked through
You got my heart, now you want my body
Keep my cool, girl you lucky you's a hottie
Ain't no games that I play that you can win
If you want inside my temple I'm gonna have to let you in
Your eyes are filled with fire,
Your mouth is filled with cuss
And I'm tired, tired, tired
When I get home from work and I come through the door
And I'm tired
And I walk into the kitchen
And you're wearing that mad face on your head
And I shiver in the corner like a frightened thing
