Pyramids
Pyramids (金字塔) are one of the most interesting buildings in the world. There are many pyramids along the Nile River in Egypt. In modern days, people look at them and wonder, "Who built them? Why? When? What is inside?"
Thousands of years ago, some kings of Egypt built the pyramids. They built them as tombs (坟墓). They thought the pyramids would help people remember them as important persons.
The oldest pyramid we know today is about 5,000 years old. The largest pyramid is the pyramid of Khufu. It is about 144 meters high. It is made of 2,300,000 stones. The stones are very big, and most of them are taller than a person. To build the pyramid of Khufu, about 100,000 men worked for twenty years.
How did the people build the pyramids? How did they carry and lift up the large stones? Each stone fits with one another so well, but the people didn't have modern machines at all! Scientists have studied the pyramids, but nobody can say how they built them.
