Write A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.
One of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, the great pyramid of Giza was a
monument of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheop in 1720 BC. Despite
its antiquity, certain aspects of this construction makes it truly one of the truly great
wonders of the world. The thirteen – acre structure near the Nile river is a solid mass of
stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are a number of hidden passageways and the
burial chamber for the pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The 4 sides of
the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and west – an incredible
engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshipers and great astronomers, so
computations for the great pyramid were based on astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many
intersecting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent type of timeline of
events – past, present and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to
coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and
currently under investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural powers, and
this one is no exception. Some researchers even associate with its extraterrestrial being of
the ancient past.
Was it superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior to

D. foretold
7. What is the best title for the passage?

C. As a tomb for the pharaoh.
D. As an engineering feat.
10. Why is the Great pyramid of Giza considered one of the seven wonders of the world?
