The Egyptian Pyramids (埃及金字塔) are really something special. They have a history of four to five thousand years. Every year millions of tourists from all over the world travel there.
It is said that many people want to experience the feeling of climbing to the top of the Pyramids. Unluckily, none of them can achieve it. According to the police records, since 1940, no one who climbed the Pyramids could come back alive, which is a great mystery of the Pyramids.
The gate of the Pyramid weighs about 20 tons. But the amazing thing is that you can push the door with one hand easily. It’s really unbelievable.
The Pyramids in Egypt also have much magic power: For example, when you have a headache, it will stop the pain if you sleep in the Pyramids; Vegetables or fruit can be kept for longer time in the Pyramids. So people think that there must be an energy that can’t be discovered in the Pyramids. But what could it be?
Another mystery of the Pyramids is that when we enter the Pyramids with electronic instruments, they won’t work well. It seems that something disturbs (打扰) them.
The Pyramids are magical, and everyone has a common question: How were they built? We haven’t known the answer yet.
