BR 14: Wonders of the past

Hi! I read a book which is called Wonders of the past. Five wonders past are introduced by this book. They are Stonehenge, Tutankhamun’s Treasure, The Great Wall of China, The Colosseum, Petra, Easter Island Statue, Chichen Itza, Angkor Wat, The Alhambra and The Taj Mahal. Do you know them? And have you ever seen them by TV or in a person presence? I have seen them by TV or a textbook. However, I don’t know about them and I will introduce a little about Easter Island statue.  

 

Easter Island is in the Pacific Ocean, far from anywhere. The island is famous for its 887 stone statues. They have big heads and little bodies. There is a story that 1,700 years ago, people were lost on the ocean. They arrived at this beautiful island. There were lots of plants and animals, so they stayed… Also, the biggest statue is called Paro. It’s now on the ground and about 10 meters long. (P.14~15)

 

I could understand it because I read this book. And Easter Island was interesting for me. Also, I want to study about wonders past!! Please tell me wonders past if you know it!
