Now we will tell about several ancient wonders that still exist today. The three Pyramids of Egypt were built about 4500 years ago as burial places for ancient kings. The largest is called the Great Pyramid. It is almost 140 meters high. It covers an area of more than four hectares. The Greek historian Herodotus said more than 100，000 men worked for more than thirty years to build the Great Pyramid. The Great Wall was begun more than two thousand years ago. It extends about 6700 kilometers across northern China. The Great Wall of China is one of the largest building projects ever attempted. It is also the only object built by people that can be seen from space. One of the oldest structures ever built by people also belongs on a list of ancient wonders. It is a circle of huge stones on the Salisbury Plain in southwestern England. It is called Stonehenge. Experts believe work began on Stonehenge about five thousand years ago. Much has been written about Stonehenge, but experts say they still are not sure what it was used for. India is famous for its temples and buildings. The most famous is the Taj Mahal, considered one of the most beautiful buildings ever constructed. Experts say nothing could be added or taken away to improve the beautiful Taj Mahal. The fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, ordered it built in Agra in 1631. He built it as a burial place in memory of his wife. Task: Fill in the chart with proper information according to the passage.
