<span>The pulpit is the usual focal point of central churches built during the early days. This is because of the influence of Protestant reformation, the spoken word, and the sermon as the central act of any church service. Pulpits should be designed to allow its church goers to hear and see the minister. These structures in the church have always been the main feature of many Western churches. Its structure and general shape might have changed through time but it still serves its main purpose in different churches found all over the world.<span>

Here are my thoughts and responses as to what I come to know for these civilizations' achievements. I even checked my World History notes from last year...
1. Egyptians
2. Sumerians
3. Phoenicians
4. -This is debatable... We could argue early caveman or Sumerians made it, depends on what resource, textbook, or class material you are deriving this from. Maybe Hebrew because they developed Monotheism, belief in one deity.
5. Hittites
6. This is very difficult to elaborate on. Many civilizations had very strikingly similar achievements and reviewing my notes, I can't find anything to give an absolute civilization responsible for this. You'll have to guess.
7. Babylonian?
Sorry I couldn't help with #4, 6, and 7 that well. It's very difficult to answer.
I believe that it would be the second option.
