The Great Pyramid of egypt The Great Pyramid of Egypt is built mostly of limestone some weighing as much as 50 tonnes! Most of the blocks weighed 2.5 tonnes. The stones were pulled to Giza on wooden sledges. It’s though that over 4000 skilled masons worked on the pyramid and possibly 100,000 farmers joined them during the inundation period. (Annual flooding) The workers were paid with food and drink rations. Approximately 100,000 bundles of onions and 200,000 loaves of bread were supplied daily to feed the workers three times a day. The limestone was brought from the quarries at Tura. The limestone was ferried over across the Nile River from the East Bank. The Granite was shipped from quarries at Aswan, some 800 kilometers away. The Pyramid has an angle just short of 52 degrees.  Many people think the stones were just simply slid up on ramps and then flipped up in place. Some people think the stones were lifted into place by immense machines, personally I think it was lifted and pushed into place, or for the taller parts,  simply were slid up a ramp then lifted or flipped them into place . The number of stones to build the great pyramid is 603,728!           Posted by 22271 on 5/11/06; 2:32:05 PM from the Synclair dept.

His parents died from a hunting raptor and he was lonely. So he decided to go to a giant city named Sharp Claw. He got there by flying. He was looking for an owner because he was just a young dragon.So he asked all of the Dinosaurs in sharpclaw but they ignored him.   So he decided that he would go on their famous boat. The Queen Fury. There were hundreds of Dinosaurs boarding it. When he got on he decided to explore. While he was exploring he found a green Dragoon named Albert. Keno asked “ can you take care of me?” “Sure” said the green Dragoon.   Then they went in the next room and found a blue turtle. It was a squirturtle ! They were rare turtles and they found one! They asked it to go with them and it responded with “SQUIIRRTTUUURRTTLLE” “Ahhhhhh!” yelled Keno. But Albert just stood there because he had seen scarier stuff like swords with eyes. And suddenly Keno  went flying across the room from a sudden smash! They had just crashed into a ship that came from nowhere!   And it had blue flames surrounding it! It was a ghost ship! Skeleton pirates came pouring out and then “WING BLASTER!”And a green dragon came out of Albert’s back! And killed the pirates.  Then they went home and then after that day Keno was more adventurous but didn’t go on any boats.                                               THE END Posted by 22271 on 5/11/06; 2:30:49 PM from the Synclair dept.

Crash’s family had killed his parents in war when he was a kitten. Now he was a teen. He was getting ready to leave inferno island. And he decided to go to cortex mansion for one last time and then when he got there he saw crash and his gang. He ran after crash from the shadows but a giant bandicoot named crunch stopped him. And then N.gin and dingodile came and knocked him down and then tiny ate crunch! And then crash yelled “WHOA!“ and then tiny ran away. “Thanks guys.“ Tiny said.“no problem“ they said. And with that they flew away on their stink mobiles. Now tiny was going to his temple wondering why crash was there. But he was full from eating crunch. He at least knew why he was called crunch! Because he was crunchy! As soon as he got to tiny temple he was greeted by a small bear named polar. “What are you doing here?” asked Tiny. It responded with “agh!” and then ran away. He continued into the temple to see master oda booga. And instead of oda booga he saw crash and then they fought and crash spun out tiny and then they threw T.N.T at each other and they both died. And the secret was that they were stepbrothers and they killed each other and that is a lesson to them. Posted by 22271 on 5/11/06; 2:30:24 PM from the Synclair dept. Discuss (2 responses)
