    The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the Wonders of the Ancient World. It was {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  more than 4,000 years ago in Egypt. It is so {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  that millions of tourists from around the world come to visit it every year.

    In Egypt there are over 80 pyramids and the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} one is the Great Pyramid. It {#blank#}4{#/blank#} on the west bank of the Nile.

That is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} their dead bodies were buried(埋葬) on the west bank of the Nile.

    You can {#blank#}6{#/blank#} imagine how huge the Great Pyramid is. It has over 2 million blocks. Some are as heavy as five school buses. Although they were heavy, workers were {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to put a block into the pyramid every three minutes.

The last group put the stones into the pyramid. There were so many different teams, but the pyramid is perfect. No stone is in the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} position.
