 How many I know about multiple historic sights
historic sites [11 to be specific]. These can include, the
tilted tower of Pisa, the great pyramids of
have you heard Giza, the great wall of China, Petra [in
about? Jordan], Stonehenge [located in the uk], taj
mahal [located in india], machu, picchu
[located in Peru], coliseum [Italy], Angkor
wat [in Cambodia], parthenon [Greece], and
tikal [located in Guatemala].
 Why do you
All of these sights are famous because of
think that these how they represent a facet of a country’s
sights are culture. For instance, the great pyramids of
Giza represent many facets of our Egyptian
famous? culture [for example, how we used to have
many weird beliefs like believing that after
we die, we will come back alive, in other
words, the afterlife.
 Why do you think
that learning Learning about past civilizations is extremely
about past important to ensure the safety of our future
civilizations. If we don’t know about past
societies and civilizations, then we could run into the
civilizations could same events that people that past societies
had already been through instead of
be important? continuing where they left off. Also, learning
about past societies can give people a better
understanding of their ancient culture and
