One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom and
prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction
make it 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 four 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.
7
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further
scientific study indicates that these represent a 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 are currently under investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural powers, and this one
is no exception. Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial beings of the ancient past. Was this
superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior to any known today?
1. The word “intersecting” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. crossing B. aligning C. observing D. cutting
2. What do the intersecting lines in the base symbolise?
A. Architects' plans for the hidden passages.
B. Pathways of the great solar bodies.
C. Astrological computations.
D. Dates of important events taking place throughout time.
3. The word "prophesied” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. affiliated B. precipitated C. terminated D. foretold
4. Extraterrestrial beings are ____.
A. very strong workers B. astronomers in the ancient times
C. researchers in Egyptology D. living beings from other planets
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Symbolism of the Great Pyramid
B. Problems with the Construction of the Great Pyramid
C. Wonders of the Great Pyramid of Giza
D. Exploration of the Burial Chamber of Cheops
