Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the 
questions. 
One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom and 
prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its 
construction make it one of the truly great wonders of the world. The thirteen-acre structure near the Nile River 
is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are a number of hidden passageways and the 
burial chamber for the Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are 
aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east, and west – an incredible engineering feat. The ancient 
Egyptians were sun worshipers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on 
astronomical observations. 
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further 
scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events – past, present, and future. Many of the 
events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for 
future generations and are currently under investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural powers, 
and this one is no exception. Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial beings of the ancient past.
