Listen, look and say.
[2] The Great Pyramid was considered a unique building in the 19th century A. D. At that time, it was still the tallest building in the world. According to scientific research, the ancient King, Khufu, ordered his men to build the Great Pyramid stone by stone. The biggest stone weighs as much as 15 tons. Each stone was fixed so well, though the ancient workers didn't have any modern tools. The Great Pyramid has four sides and each side is 230.4 meters long and
146.5 meters high. At that time, there were no modern machines or equipment, so how did the ancient Egyptians build the Great Pyramid? To this day, it is still a mystery. But many scientists continue to study their methods. The completion of the Great Pyramid shows the wisdom and the achievements of ancient Egyptian working people.

$发明金字塔的人真是个天才,在那个没有起重机的年代,很难想象他们该如何把两三吨重的大石块搬到146米的高度,不管是拉上去还是推上去都不太可能,至于用投石车扔上去吗?好像也不现实。哎,难道金字塔真的是传说中的外星人建造的吗?好在专家想到了解决办法,例如在金字塔一侧修建一条巨型斜坡,工人便可以将石块从斜坡运上去,或者在金字塔内部开凿隧道,再将这些大石块沿着内部的螺旋上升通道往上托运。还有一种说法是在金字塔外侧修建螺旋状坡道直通塔顶,有了坡道似乎就很方便了。但有个问题,越往高处的坡道也会越抖,这意味着运输是件极其困难的事情,尤其是塔尖这部分,仍然没有办法运上去。所以专家觉得原本的金字塔要比现在大得多,直到完全建成以后,外部冗余的部分才被去除,再由工人将金字塔外侧打磨光滑,最终才是我们现在看到的这个样子。那为什么说金字塔还是人类奇迹呢?你想想看,光是一座胡夫金字塔的重量就达到了684万吨,总共用了230万石块,每块石块都需要数十人搬运。据说这座金字塔是由10万名工人建造了20年才完工的,可以想象这是一个多么伟大的工程。即使现代人类想建一座这样的金字塔也绝非易事。首先需要一个200米的龙门吊,但人类目前似乎还没有这么高的型号,那就换吊车来试试喽,不过这也有一个问题,就是吊车运输的石块会被金字塔的塔身挡住,最后也只能出动重型直升机才能将石块吊上去,所以现在知道金字塔为什么能成为七大奇迹之首了吧?
