REPORT TEXT


THE PYRAMIDS

     The pyramids are large structures built by ancient people as tombs or temples. They have square-shaped bases and triangular shaped sides that meet at the top in a point. They contain funeral temples, burial chambers and corridors. (general classification)
     The most famous pyramids are those built by the Egyptians about 4500 years ago. The enormous tombs were built to protect the pharaoh’s body and worldly treasures from grave robbers, as well as to show how powerful and wealthy he had been. The body needed to be preserved, they believed, for a happy afterlife.(description of pyramids in Egypt)
     The enormous structures were built using only the simplest of tool. Many of the huge limestone blocks used in construction were cut from nearby quarries using copper chisels and saws. Some blocks were brought from across the Nile River, and others from even further away, an amazing feat considering that the wheel had not yet been invented. No wonder the pyramids rank as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.(how to build the pyramids)
      The largest, at 146 meters tall, is the Great Pyramid. Its base covers an area of about 5 hectares, with each side measuring 229 meters in length. Over two million blocks of stone, each about 90 centimeters high and weighing over 2 metric tons, were used in its construction. Each side of the pyramid faces a compass direction.(an example of pyramids)
