Great Pyramid of Giza

Read a short passage about a giant stone pyramid built long ago in Egypt.

1.1

The Great Pyramid of Giza is a very famous landmark. It is in Egypt, close to Cairo. The pyramid was built over 4,500 years ago for an Egyptian king named Pharaoh Khufu.

기자의 대피라미드는 매우 유명한 랜드마크입니다. 그것은 이집트의 카이로 근처에 있습니다. 피라미드는 4,500년 이상 전에 파라오 쿠�이라는 이름의 이집트 왕을 위해 지어졌습니다.

1.2

The pyramid is very big and tall. When people first made it, it was 146 meters high. Now, it is a bit shorter, about 139 meters, because some stones are missing. The bottom of the pyramid is very wide. It covers almost 53,000 square meters.

피라미드는 매우 크고 높습니다. 사람들이 처음 만들었을 때, 그것은 146미터 높이였습니다. 지금은 일부 돌이 없어져서 약간 더 짧아져 약 139미터입니다. 피라미드의 바닥은 매우 넓습니다. 그것은 거의 53,000제곱미터를 차지합니다.

1.3

Building the Great Pyramid was a big job. It is made from millions of heavy stones. Each stone weighs about 2,500 kilograms. People think it took about 20 years to build. The workers used simple tools, not machines like we have now.

대피라미드를 건설하는 것은 큰 작업이었습니다. 그것은 수백만 개의 무거운 돌로 만들어졌습니다. 각 돌은 약 2,500킬로그램의 무게가 나갑니다. 사람들은 그것을 건설하는 데 약 20년이 걸렸다고 생각합니다. 노동자들은 지금 우리가 가진 기계가 아닌 간단한 도구를 사용했습니다.

기자의 대피라미드
1.4

Inside the pyramid, there are three main rooms. The largest room was for the king's tomb. The other rooms held things the king might need after death. There are also long hallways that connect these rooms.

피라미드 안에는 세 개의 주요 방이 있습니다. 가장 큰 방은 왕의 무덤을 위한 것이었습니다. 다른 방들은 왕이 죽은 후에 필요로 할 수 있는 것들을 보관하고 있었습니다. 또한 이 방들을 연결하는 긴 복도가 있습니다.

1.5

Many people visit the Great Pyramid every year. It is very old but still looks good. It is special because it is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that is still standing.

매년 많은 사람들이 대피라미드를 방문합니다. 그것은 매우 오래되었지만 여전히 좋아 보입니다. 그것은 고대 세계의 7대 불가사의 중 유일하게 여전히 서 있는 것이기 때문에 특별합니다.

1.6

People keep studying the pyramid. They use new technology to find out how it was built and what is inside. They discover new things about it often.

사람들은 피라미드를 계속 연구하고 있습니다. 그들은 새로운 기술을 사용하여 그것이 어떻게 건축되었는지 그리고 내부에 무엇이 있는지 알아냅니다. 그들은 그것에 대해 자주 새로운 것을 발견합니다.

1.7

Fun fact : The Great Pyramid was the tallest building in the world for more than 3,800 years. No other building was taller until the 1800s.

재미있는 사실: 대피라미드는 3,800년 이상 세계에서 가장 높은 건물이었습니다. 1800년대까지 다른 어떤 건물도 더 높지 않았습니다.
