Temples
Individual places of worship hold a special significance to people of faith. Alexander the
Great, in putting down an uprising in the Greek City-State of Thebes in 335 BC, left no build-
ing standing except the temples (and the home of Pindar, a famous poet) because he appreci-
ated their significance to the people. By contrast, in 70 AD the Romans destroyed the Second
Temple of Jerusalem, bringing an end to a four-year rebellion by the Jews. This act of dese-
cration is well remembered to this day – the surviving West Wall of the Temple, also known as
the Wailing Wall, continues to be a focal point for Jewish prayer and pilgrimage.

Fixed religious centers first appeared when ancient nomads began settling in one place. The
buildings and even the ground on which they are built have traditionally been considered
sacred – sanctuaries from the evils of the mortal world.

In Empire Earth, Temples are used to train both Priests and Prophets, and to upgrade their
abilities. Additionally, the sphere of influence surrounding a Temple provides protection
against calamities. More information on Temples can be found in Chapters VII and XIII.
