The holiday had originated at Arlington in 1868

The structure was dedicated on May 15, 1920, and since then every U.S. presidenthas Rosetta Stone visited the amphitheatre during his tenure. The roofless, white marble structure, which encloses a natural amphitheatre, is copied from both the Theatre of Dionysus in Athens and the Roman theatre in Orange, France. The Fields of the Dead, with their seemingly endless lines of plain stones, follow a pattern adopted in 1872 for use in all national cemeteries. The Women in Military Service Memorial is located at the gateway to the cemetery, and the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial (the Iwo Jima flag-raising statue) is also nearby.Arlington remains an active military cemetery, with an average of 5,400 funerals each year. By the early 21st century more than 260,000 people had been buried on the grounds.B. Philip BiglerCopyright1994-2009 Encyclopdia Britannica, Inc. In the larger cities, while traditional building types are still visible in the older areas, large recently developed sections are dominated by simpler styles in brick and concrete. Downtown areas have an increasingly European appearance. Temple Rosetta Stone Italian of Artemis at EphesusThere was actually more than one Temple of Artemis: A series of several altars and temples was destroyed and then restored on the same site in Ephesus, a Greek port city on the west coast of modern-day Turkey. The most fabulous of these structures were two marble temples built around 550 B.C. and 350 B.C., respectively. The former was designed by the Cretan architect Chersiphron and his son Metagenes and decorated by some of the most celebrated artists of the ancient world. The building burned on July 21, 356 B.C., according to legend the same night that Alexander the Great was born. About six years later, the building of a new temple to replace it was begun. The new building was surrounded by marble steps that led to a more than 400-foot-long terrace. Inside stood 127 60-foot marble Rosetta Stone Korean columns and a statue of Artemis. Archeologists disagree as to whether the building had an open-air ceiling or was topped with wood tiles. The temple was largely destroyed by Ostrogoths in A.D. 262, and it was not until the 1860s that archeologists dug up the first of the ruins of the temples columns at the bottom of the Cayster River.
