Slumdog Millionaire
Slumdog Millionaire is one of the best movies I have ever seen.
Slumdog Millionaire is directed by Danny Boyle and is a well know movie all over the worlds. This movie was extremely intersting because it remind people what they done to past and therefore ended up winning eight Oscars including best picture in 2009 at the 81frist annual Academy Awards notes leopold, author of the article, “A rich night for best picture Slumdog Millionaire.” This momie is based on a television show which is called “ Who Wants to be a Millionaire.” The movie is based on a true story. This movie taught audience almost all things about slum life in India. Although I learned from slumdog Millionaire that a person does not necessarilly have to go to school to be smart that means sometimes personal experiences can be a swung source of knowledge.

The Pyramids

The pyramids are tombs that were built over 5,000 years ago for the kings of ancient Egypt.



Amcient Egyptians believed that after their kings died, they became gods in another world. A pyramid was to be the dead king's palace in the afterlife where he would rule as a god. As well as a burial chamber, the complex included rooms to hold things the king would need in the afterlife, such as furniture, jewelry, and cooking utensils. Servants or wives who died later were buried close by in much smaller tombs.



Archeologist believe that local famers and villages willingly worked on the pyramids during the flood season, when the land could not be worked. The workers thought it would ensure their own afterlife and make Egypt prosperous.



The structure of the pyramids evolved slowly. They went from platforms stocked on an underground tomb to larger step-style structures to the massive smoth-sided pyramids found at Giza.



Of the 80 known pyramids, the biggerst and finest is the Great pyramid of Khufu at Giza. The base of the Great pyramid covers over 13 acres. It was 481 feet high but, over the years, has lost 30 feet off its top. Two million blocks of stone, each weighing over 2 tones, were used to build it. Workers likely moved thes huge stones into position by using ropes to pull them up ramps. As many as 20,000 to 30,000 men may have worked on this pyramid, which took 20 years to finish.



Smaller pyramids of this type were built for another 1,000 years. When robbers started looting the precious goods stored inside them, kings were buried in hidden tombs. Tombs of later kings were discoverd in a valley near Luxor, which is now called the valley of the Kings.
