Man-made wonders
Seven Wonders of the World is a list of the most
famous attractions of the Oecumene culture. The essays of the Seven Wonders of
the World were popular in antiquity and included a description of the grandest,
the most beautiful, the most spectacular buildings and monuments of art. That's
why they were called "wonders". The selection of the wonders of the
world took place gradually, some wonders little by little replaced the other
ones.
One of the most
interesting is the Pyramid of Cheops. This is is the largest of the Egypt
pyramids, the only one of the "Seven Wonders of the World", which has
survived to the present day. More than three thousand years the pyramid was the
tallest building in the world. It is supposed that the construction, which lasted twenty
years, ended around 2540 BC.
The height of the Great Pyramid of Egypt today is 140
meters and the total area is more than 5 hectares. Cheops pyramid is composed
of 2.5 millions stone blocks. To deliver these blocks to the construction site,
the ancient Egyptians had to overcome a distance of hundreds of kilometers!
The entrance to the Great Pyramid is located on the
north side at a height of about 17 meters. There are three burial chambers and
a network of descending and ascending corridors leading to these rooms inside
the pyramid. For the comfort of tourists the aisles are stocked with wooden
steps and railings.
Despite numerous studies and excavations, Cheops
pyramid keeps many secrets. Thus, for example, still have not managed to find a
corridor leading to the chamber with the sarcophagus of the pharaoh.
