when were the pyramids built
The Egyptian pyramids are ancient pyramid-shaped masonry
structures located in Egypt.
There are 138 pyramids discovered in Egypt as of 2008. Most
were built as tombs for the country's Pharaohs and their consorts during the
Old and Middle Kingdom periods.
The earliest known Egyptian pyramids are found at Saqqara,
northwest of Memphis. The earliest among these is the Pyramid of Djoser
(constructed 2630 BC–2611 BC) which was built during the third dynasty. This
pyramid and its surrounding complex were designed by the architect Imhotep, and
are generally considered to be the world's oldest monumental structures
constructed of dressed masonry. The estimate of the number of workers to build
the pyramids range from a few thousand, twenty thousand, and up to 100,000
where is great wall of china
The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of
stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an
east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China in part to
protect the Chinese Empire or its prototypical states against intrusions by
various nomadic groups or military incursions by various warlike peoples or
forces. Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BC; these,
later joined together and made bigger and stronger, are now collectively
referred to as the Great Wall.
why do mountains affect weather
Mountains:
There are two sides: wayward and leeward.
Wayward: Whenever it is raining, the wayward side gets the
rain so there is good soil most of the time. But as the cloud goes up the
mountain, it keeps raining until soon there is no more water in the cloud.
Leeward:
Now the cloud is at the other side of the mountain. There is no more
precipitation so the leeward side of the mountain gets no rain so the flat
ground on this side of the mountain is dry and humid.
