Did you know that the only surviving Ancient Wonder of the World is the pyramids of Giza? At present, experts cannot understand how and when the Great Pyramid of Giza was built. It is also one of the most famous tourist attractions in the world. I had watched the documentary about this place.

What about all the other pyramids in the world? There's a lot of them out there, and they are everywhere around the world (there's possibly giant pyramids in Antarctica under the ice, they are still researching that). They're only so easily preserved by the desert in Egypt because the sand rather than eating away at them, covered them up for so long. It's a shame that people tore the capstones off their sides. Apparently they were really beautiful when they were completely smooth.
I'm part of the lesser group that believes the pyramids were constructed over 12,000 years ago when the last great human civilization was around. After all, the details don't make sense given what we know otherwise.

My late sister taught me about the wonders of the world. It was an exciting lesson! Then she burst my excitement bubble by informing me that most of the places didn't exist any more. I'm like “Aw man! Bummer!” I really wanted to see those Hanging Gardens!!

The Scientists have discovered a pyramid which is about 4,700 years old mysterious STEP pyramid in Egypt. This is supposed to have been built at least some decades before the Giza Pyramid. The Pyramid was pillaged over time and it is only 15 meters tall now.
