Heres alittle history about columns that you mind find interesting.
"Columns" -- In re: Architectural Column

In architecture and structural engineering, a column is that part of a structure whose purpose is to transmitthrough compression the weight of the structure. Other compression members are often termed column because of the similar stress conditions. Column(s) can be either compounded of parts or made as a singlepiece. Column(s) are frequently used to support beams or arches on which the upper parts of walls or ceilings rest.

In the architecture of ancient Egypt as early as 2600 BC the architect Imhotep made use of stonecolumns whose surface was carved to reflect the organic form of bundled reeds; in later Egyptian architecture faceted cylinderswere also common.

The Roman author Vitruvius, relying on the writings (now lost) of Greekauthors, tells us that the ancient Greeks believed thattheir Doric order developed from techniques for building in wood in which the earlier smoothed tree trunk was replaced by a stonecylinder. This myth of the transformation of wood into stone still causes controversy today - did the ancient Greeks inventcolumns this way for themselves, or did they imitate the stone construction of neighboring civilization?

The Doric , or Tuscan, order is the oldest and simplest of theclassical order. It is composed of a vertical cylinder that is wider at the bottom. It generally has neither a base nor a capital. It is often referred to as the masculine order because it is represented in the bottomlevel of the Colosseum, and was therefore considered to be able to hold moreweight.

The Ionic column is considerably more complex than the Doric. Itusually has a base and the shaft is often fluted (it has grooves carved up its length).
