The 39 Clues

Hi everybody!  Today's post is about one of my favorite book series, "The 39 Clues".

 The series is about two orphans from Boston, named Amy and Dan Cahill.  Their ancestors were some of the worlds most famous people, including Benjamin Franklin, Mozart, Elvis, and George Washington.  The series is a big hunt for 39 clues, which if found, can make you become the most powerful person in human history.   

There are 11 books in the series, as far as I know.  Book 11, "Vespers Rising", comes out on April 5th, 2011.   The books take place around the world, from as far south as Australia to as far north as England, and everywhere in between. 

Pyramids

Do you want to know the answer to some mysteries of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

1.) The first thing most people wonder about it is what kind of ramp did the Egyptians use to move the blocks that made the pyramid. They used three different ramps: single, spiral, and zigzag.

2.) Most of the time people wonder who the Great pyramid is made for. The top chamber in the pyramid gives proof that the pyramid is built for Khufu.

3.) Sometimes people wonder how the barges that carried the heavy blocks did not sink. The barge was pulled by lots 0f little boats.

4.) People have also wondered how heavy the blocks were. The blocks were 2 to 16 tons.

I hope you like my post. Bye
