Today, many tourists visit this
amazing place. (P.13)
This time, I’m going to introduce
everybody a book about some world heritages and histories. Have you ever gone
to some world heritages? What world heritages do you want to see? I want to
introduce everybody four wonders from this book.
One is Tutankhamun. Tutankhamun
is known all over the world. But why is he so famous? He was a king in Egypt
more than 3,300 years ago. When he died only 19 years old, people put a gold
mask over his face and his face and put all three coffins in a tomb with food
and many treasures. However no one discovered Tutankhamun’s tomb for a long
time, then British archaeologist discovered it in 1922. There were about 3,500
treasures such as gold statues, boats, jewels, toys, masks, and even a gold
bed. Tutankhamun became one of the most famous kings in the world.
Two is the Colosseum in Rome.
Ancient Romans watched fights with gladiators and wild animals like lions,
crocodiles, rhinos, and even elephants in this big and beautiful stadium. About
500,000 people and one million wild animals died there. I thought that Ancient
Romans were so cruel after I read. The Colosseum was the most fantastic
building and big enough for more than 50,000 people.
Three is Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
Angkor Wat is a beautiful stone temple and was built about 800 years ago. About
50,000 people built the temple, and it took more than 37 years. They built it
to look like the mountain where their gods lived. When people built Angkor Wat,
they put water around the building to protect themselves from enemies and wild
animals from the rainforest.
Lastly, four is the Taj mahal in
India. It looks like a palace, but it’s one of the most beautiful tombs in the
world. The Taj Mahal was built by about 20,000 people 400 years ago, and it
took 22 years. There are gardens and fountains around the tomb where is made of
28 types of stone and jewels.
I want to visit the Colosseum
more than anything else. I often watch it in TV but I want to watch it
firsthand in Rome someday. What wonders do you feel in your body? Surely, I
will change my view of the world if I can see some world heritages. Thank you
for reading!
