		+	= The history of doors =
		+
		+	The earliest known doors were simple pieces of wood or stone that were used to cover openings in primitive dwellings. They were often small and low, primarily serving as a means of protection from the elements and animals.
		+
		+	In the ancient Egyptian civilization, doors became more refined and were decorated with intricate carvings and other adornments. The Egyptians also developed the pivoting door, which operated on a central pivot point and allowed for larger, more grand doorways.
		+
		+	The Greeks and Romans further developed door technology by introducing hinged doors, allowing for easier opening and closing. They were commonly made from wood and sometimes featured metal embellishments.
		+
		+	During the Middle Ages, doors became larger and more ornate. They were often made from heavy wood and featured iron hardware for added security. Castle doors, in particular, were designed to be thick and sturdy, serving as a defensive barrier against invaders.
		+
		+	In the Renaissance and Baroque periods, doors underwent a transformation in design and craftsmanship. Elaborate carvings, moldings, and decorative elements became more common, reflecting the artistic styles of the time. They were often made from expensive woods and were status symbols for wealthy individuals.
		+
		+	With the advent of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries, doors began to be mass-produced. This led to increased accessibility and affordability.
		+
		+	In the 20th century, advances in materials and technology revolutionised door manufacturing. Steel, glass, and aluminium became popular choices, allowing for greater versatility in design and increased durability. Automatic doors and electronic access systems were developed, offering convenience and improved accessibility.
		+
		+	Today, doors come in a wide variety of styles, materials, and functionalities, ranging from traditional wooden doors to high-tech automatic sliding doors. They serve not only as functional barriers but also as architectural elements that contribute to the overall aesthetics of buildings.
