A pyramid in Mexico has a temple on top of it. The pyramids of Mexico are not as high as the pyramid of Egypt(埃及), but they are big. Inside the pyramids there are only earth and stones. The biggest pyramid in Mexico is about 2,000 years old. Scientists think it would take 10,000 men more than ten years to build it. On the top they built a temple（庙宇）that faced the sun. The temple is no longer there now. People called it “the pyramid of the sun”. Near this pyramid there is another. It is called “the pyramid of the moon”. How were the people of Mexico able to build the pyramids thousands of years ago? How did they carry and cut the huge stones? Each stone fits(吻合) so well to each other. But they did not have modern machines! Many people have studied the pyramids of Mexico and Egypt, but nobody knows for sure how they were built。 根据文章的内容判断正(T)误(F)。1.
