The earliest doors of human caves as entrances were made of pebbles, scaffolding, and animal skins. Before the advent of Western civilization, humans started to use framed openings to welcome their guests. A megalithic tomb was discovered in Ireland, its entrance had a lot of exquisite upright stones with a simple stone lintel on top and a square lintel on top—that square lintel is similar to our ventilated window nowadays.
In the 13th century BC, Greek castles, characterized by a pair of carved stone lions on the lintel, started to usher in the era of decorative entrances. To this day, the influence of ancient Greek civilization on architecture still affects nowadays people.
