Q1: How did the temple change shape over the centuries?

[Answer]

The earliest temples have 6x15 columns or similar proportions.

Later temples are shorter, with 6x12 or 6x13 proportions.

The columns are built on a base of three or four steps.

The inner chamber, or cella, in the largest temples had an entrance porch and a rear porch, although you couldn't get to the cella from the rear.
