I just pretended it all wasn’t happening and went n lecturing and tried t ask sme inspiring questins. My bss, sitting in the back f the rm, seemed t be grwing bigger and bigger.

The pyramids f Giza(吉萨金字塔) have been timeless(永恒的) symbls f Egyptian culture. But wh actually built them? Fr years, we did nt knw fr sure. But recently an ancient village was discvered near the pyramids. Clse by, there was a cemetery(墓地) where pyramid builders were buried.
