Egyptian Pyramids

Researchers have uncovered one of the key methods the Egyptians used to build the pyramids. They have long been confused by exactly how workers were able to transport large blocks of stone of construction【小题1】. Now, they say the key was simple-wet sand.

“For the construction of the Pyramids,the ancient Egyptians had to transport heavy stone blocks and large【小题2】across the desert.” researchers at the University of Amsterdam said. The team tried to repeat this—and found wet sand was the key. The Egyptians therefore placed the heavy objects on a sledge(雪橇) that workers pulled over the sand.

Research from the University of Amsterdam has now revealed that the Egyptians probably made the desert sand in front of the sledge wet. Experiments have demonstrated that the correct amount of wetness in the sand【小题3】the pulling force required. To test the theory. the physicists placed a laboratory version of the Egyptian sledge in a tray of sand. They decided both the required pulling force and the stiffness(硬度) of the sand as a function of the quantity of water in the sand. To【小题4】the stiffness, they used a rheometer, which shows how much force is needed to deform a certain volume of sand. Experiments revealed that the required pulling force decreased proportional to the firmness of the sand. “In the presence of the correct quantity of water. wet desert sand is about twice as firm as dry sand.” the team said. A sledge glides far more easily over firm desert sand【小题5】because the sand does not pile up in front of the sledge as it does in the【小题6】of dry sand. They also believe a painting reveals the trick. “The Egyptians were probably aware of this【小题7】trick.” they said. “A wall painting in the tomb of Djehutihotep clearly shows a person standing on the front of the pulled sledge and【小题8】water over the sand just in front of it.”

The research results could therefore be useful for examining how to make full use of the transport and【小题9】of grand material,which at present【小题10】for about ten percent of the worldwide energy consumption.

Chinese calligraphy has developed along with China’s 【小题1】. It is difficult to say when 【小题2】 calligraphy started. Chinese writing was first done by carving symbols onto bones and shells, but as it developed into a writing 【小题3】, it also developed as a form of art done with a brush. It is believed that Chinese calligraphy dates back to at least the Han Dynasty. Soon after that, the idea developed that calligraphy was not only a beautiful art form but also a 【小题4】 of showing the character of the “man behind the brush”. Today, anyone from small children to old people can enjoy practicing the 【小题5】 art of Chinese calligraphy.

The buildings inside Longfu Temple Area are not just slabs of concrete or bricks and mortar (灰泥) — they have 【小题1】the bustling and prosperity of Beijing for centuries. With traces of time deeply imprinted, the area stands silently and awaits its 【小题2】start.

Built in 1452 and rebuilt in the 9th year during Emperor Yongzheng’s reign, Longfu Temple was the only temple in Beijing to accommodate both lamas and monks, and later became a famous【小题3】for temple fairs — perhaps the first choice to enjoy the authentic flavors of older Beijing and learn about the local culture.

Unfortunately, it was destroyed by a fire in 1901, and the nine-story building was restored in 1988on the original site. Its【小题4】ended abruptly in another devastating fire in 1993, and the place was turned into a place for restaurants, a market for clothing and small commodities, and a digital square.

The first phase of its renovation started with the opening of a second M Woods Art Museum, 【小题5】in the renovated buildings in Qianliang Hutong(small lane)in the Longfu Temple Area. It was a collaboration between the museum and the government of the Dongcheng District. Its inaugural exhibition, a solo art show titled “A Bigger Splash” by renowned British artist David Hockney, was【小题6】launched with Tate Britain and Tate Modern.

The night of M Woods Art community becomes bustling and【小题7】 with a variety of cocktail bars and nightclubs, such as Jing A Taproom and the M Woods-affiliated nightclub Turtle.

The second phase of the【小题8】will start in 2023, featuring Chinese cultural zones and【小题9】museums, such as the Palace Museum, the British Museum and London’s V&A Museum.

The Longfu Temple Area has witnessed the ebb (衰退) and flow of a【小题10】district and the city’s changing landscape in the vicissitudes (兴衰) of the times. Its gradual return to its former glory speaks of myriad (无数的) possibilities.
