Did the globe theater has a raked stage?

Did it also have an upstage, a downstage and deus ex machina? Did the globe theater has a raked stage?
Any stage has an upstage and downstage, which are just the general areas of the stage (and "upstage" came from a raked stage, where you literally walked up to the rear).



The Globe did not have a raked stage. The audience--except the groundlings--was seated in steeply raked seating above the stage, so a rake was not necessary.
