Cybersmart Task
The Great pyramid of Giza is in Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact. The Great Pyramid was built by quarrying an estimated 2.3 million large blocks weighing 6 million tonnes total. The majority of stones are not uniform in size or shape and are only roughly dressed. The outside layers were bound together by mortar. Primarily local limestone from the Giza Plateau was used. Other blocks were imported by boat down the Nile: White limestone from Tura for the casing, and granite blocks from Aswan, weighing up to 80 tonnes, for the King's Chamber structure. Egypt is 16,317 km away from New Zealand.
For this task I went on google earth and found one of the 7 wonders of the world. I got my information from Wikipedia.
I enjoyed reading your research on the great Giza pyramid in Egypt and how it must have been hard work building such amazing pyramid. Tino pai! :)
