Read the passage and complete the tasks that follow. The Pyramids of Giza Egypt has more than one hundred pyramids that are scattered around the country. Those pyramids were built of sandstone brick and as royal tombs for the Egyptian rulers. The three most famous pyramids in Egypt are the pyramids of Giza. They were named the great pyramid of Khufu, the pyramid of Khafre and the pyramid of Menkaure. These pyramids were located on the outskirts of Cairo, which is about eight kilometers from the old city of Giza. Each of the three pyramids has its own features. The pyramid of Khufu, known as the Great Pyramid of Giza, is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is considered the oldest and the only ancient wonder that has survived until the present. Egyptologists believe that the pyramid was built over a period of 20 years as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu, the fourth dynasty Egyptian pharaoh. Nearby, the pyramid of Khufu’s son named the pyramid of Khafre, was built on higher ground. Thus, to the naked eye, it appears to be the tallest of the three pyramids, but in reality, the pyramid of Khufu is the tallest and also the largest Egyptian pyramid ever built. The pyramid of Menkaure, the pyramid of Khafre’s son, is the third pyramid at the Giza cemetery. It has three smaller pyramids which are next to this main st

III. There are ten mistakes in the following passage. Find and correct them

      It seems that the mystery of why the Pyramids were built may have solved. Until quite recently people got used to think that they were just tombs for pharaohs. Instead, the connection with astronomy seems much more important. Egyptologists have often asked them how long it spent to build them and why people built them in first place. Experts came up with a suggestion that the Egyptians may have believed in the River Nile was the earthly equivalent of the Milky Way. Many agree that the sizes of the three Giza Pyramids are in promotion to the three stars of Orion. Nothing, then, was by the chance. Rather, the souls of dead pharaohs were deliberately being project through shafts to reach at their goal of the Orion constellation.
