The sarsenstonesare even bigger and

heavier.About 4,000 years 4go, people
transported them from 30 kilometers away.

How did people use Stonehenge?Maybe

they used it as a cemetery or a place for
studying the sun and the stars. Maybe it
was also a temple. It's still a specialplace
for some people today. Every year, on
June 2L"'rlots of people go to Stonehenge
The Stonehengestone circles are in England. to celebrate the longest day of the year.
People transported the first stonesto this
place about 5,000 years ago.\il7edon't know
a lot about Stonehenge.S(rhobuilt it? How
did they build it? \(rhy did they build it?
It's a mystery.

People built Stonehengewith bluestones

and sarsenstones.There were about
80 bluestones.They came from mountains

Tutankhamun was a king in Egypt more
than 3 1300years ago.He died when he was
only l9 yearsold. \fhen he died, peopleput
a gold mask over his face.They put his body
in a coffin made of gold. Then they put the
coffin into two bigger coffins. They put all
three coffins in a tomb with food and many
treasures.The Egyptians thought that the
king needed these things after he died. Tutankhamun's tomb was in the Valley of
the I{ngs. No one discoveredit for a long,
long time. Then a British archaeologist
called Howard Carter discoveredit in 1922.
\Whenhe broke through the door, he was
amazed.Therewere gold statues,boats'
jewels,toys, masks,and even a gold bed!
There were about 31500treasures.For ten
years,Carter took the treasuresfrom the
tomb, and wrote about them.

Tutankhamun became one of the most

famous kings in the world. Today, many of
his wonderful treasuresare in the Egyptian
Museum in Cairo in Egypt.

Where did Ancient Romans go for fun?

They went to the Colosseumin Rome.
They watched fights in this big and beautiful
stadium.The fights were with gladiatorsand
wild animals like lions, crocodiles,rhinos,
and evenelephants.The Colosseumwasn't
fun for everyone.About 5001000people and
one million wild animals died there.

Later, two earthquakesdestroyedsome of

the Colosseum.Then people took stones
from the Colosseum to build manv other
buildings in Rome.

So the building that we can seetoday

gives only an idea of how beautiful it was
in the past.Thousands of tourists visit the
Colosseum every year.There are music
concertshere. too.

Easter Island is in the Pacific Ocean, far
from anywhere.The island is famous for its
887 stone statues.They havebig headsand
little bodies.
Why are the sratueshere?There is a story
that 11700yearssgo, people were lost on
the ocean.They arrived at this beautiful
island.There were lots of plants and
animals, so they stayed.
These people made the big sraruesfor their
gods.They made the statueswith stone
from the middle of the island.Then, up to
250 people transportedthe statuesacrossthe
island to the coast,where they stand today.
After a few hundred years)there were too
many people for this small island.They cut
down many of the trees.This was bad for
the ground, and bad for other plants and
animals,too. Soon there wasn't much food.
People started to fight and they pushed over
many of the statues.
Today, people come to seethe statuesand
learn about EasterIsland.

 The Mayan people liked many activities.
They played ball gamesin a courtyard that
is bigger than a soccerfield. The courtyard
has walls that are l2 meters high!
Sometimesthey played gamesfor many
days.They also loved art, music, and dance.
Today, people still like to watch Mayan
dancers,listen to Mayan music, and look
at Mayan art when they visit Chichen Itza.

About 11600yearsogo,the Mayan people

in Mexico started to build a new city.
They built it around water from under the
ground, so they called the city Chichen Itza.
The name means 'the mouth of the well'.
$fater was very important in this dry place.
The first people in Chichen Itza built many
temples for their rain god Chaac. Later, the
city grew bigger and richer. Then people
built fantastic pyramids and temples for
their god Kukulkan. The mosr famous
pyramid is the Temple of Kukulkan.
