Unit 16: THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD

Lesson 1: Reading

1. Where are the Pyramids?

2. When were they built?

3. How were they built?

THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA

The Great Pyramid of Giza was built by the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu around the year 2560 BC. The purpose of this huge stone pyramid was to serve as a tomb when he died and to protect the burial chamber from the weather and from thieves who might try to steal the treasures and belongings there. The Great Pyramid is believed to have been built over a 20-year period. First, the site was prepared and then the huge blocks of stone were transported and put in their places.

When it was built, the Great Pyramid was 147 metres high on a base of 230 metres square. It ranks as the tallest structure on earth for more than 43 centuries, only to be surpassed in height in the nineteenth century AD. The structure consisted of approximately 2 million blocks of stone, each weighing about 2.5 tons. It has been suggested that there are enough blocks in the three pyramids to build a 3-metre high, 0.3-metre-thick wall around France.

Although it is not known how the blocks were put in place, several theories have been proposed. One theory involves the construction of a straight or spiral ramp that was raised as the the construction proceeded. A second theory suggests that the blocks were lifted and place using thousands of huge weight arms.

Today, the Great Pyramid of Giza enclosed, together with the other pyramids in the tourist region of the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the River Nile. Also in the area is the museum housing the mysterious Sun Boat, only discovered in 1954 near the south side of the pyramid. The boat is believed to have been used to carry the body of Khufu in his last journey on earth before being buried inside the pyramid.
