VI. Read the passage and choose the correct answer.
 The Great Pyramid at Giza is one of the world's most amazing landmarks. Rising
high above the Sahara Desert in the Giza region of northern Egypt, the Great
Pyramid stands some 450 feet into the burning desert sky and occupies an area of
13 acres. The rough climate of the Sahara has actually caused the pyramid to shrink
30 feet from its original height. The pyramid was such an amazing feat of
engineering that it remained the tallest structure in the world for over 3800 years!
The entire pyramid was originally faced with polished limestone to make it shine
brilliantly in the sun.

Most Egyptologists, scientists who study ancient Egypt, agree that the Great
Pyramid was built around 2560 BC, a little more than 4,500 years ago. It took tens of
thousands of workers twenty years to build. The pyramid contains over two million
stone blocks. Although most of the blocks weigh two or three tons, some weigh up
to 80 tons!

The Great Pyramid of Giza was ordered built by the Pharaoh Khufu as a magnificent
tomb. His vizier (advisor), Hemon, is credited with being the pyramid’s architect.
Khufu's pyramid is actually part of a complex of pyramids that includes the Pyramid
of Khafre, the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure, a variety of smaller pyramids and
structures, and the Great Sphinx. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the last remaining of
the Seven Wonders of the World.
