Goal name
36) Visit the pyramids
Goal description
The Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt, is the only one of the
seven wonders of the ancient world still surviving. There has
been much speculation as to the purpose of the pyramids. It
is generally thought they were tombs of great Pharaohs, but
research has suggested that they might have been used as
observatories and that they were perfectly aligned to the star
constellations of that time. Whatever the purpose, there is
no denying their construction was an amazing feat of
engineering considering the limited construction and surveying
tools available.
Visit the pyramids and see these amazing structures for
yourself. Walk down the low, dimly lit corridors, experience
the sights and smells and imagine what life was like 4500
years ago when these mysterious buildings were constructed.
