“Memory palace” or “mnemonics” has been frequently used as a remembering and data classification technique in Antiquity and the Medieval World. With the help of this technique, the concepts that installed in physical spaces (image, script, symbol or object) could be associated with each other and remembered at sight. It was suf ficient for one to look around in order to know how to behave. Along with cathedrals, wonder chambers and the Enlightment Movement later on, the relation between words and things was moved to an abstract plat form through language.
