One of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument
of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 BC . Despite its antiquity,
certain aspects of its construction make it one of the truly great wonders of the world. The
thirteen- acre structure near the Nile River is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with
limestone. Inside are the number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber for the
Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the Pyramid are aligned

almost exactly on true North, South, East and West- an incredible engineering feat. The ancient
Egyptians were sun worshipers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid
were based on astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many interesting
lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events- past
present and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known
facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under
investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural powers and this one is no
exception. Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial being of the ancient past.

Franklin D . Roosevelt, the 32

family. As a child, he attended private schools, had private tutors ,and traveled with his parents
to Europe. He attended Harvert University and afterward studied law. At the age of 39

more than 5,000 banks had failed and thousands of people were out of work, Roosevelt took
action. First he declared a bank holiday that closed all the banks so no more could fail; then he
reopened the bank little by little with governments support. Roosevelt believed in using the
full power of government to help what he called the forgotten people and it was these
workers, the wage earners, who felt the strongest affection toward Roosevelt. There were
others, however, who felt that Roosevelts policies were destroying the Amerivan system of
government, and they opposed him in the same intense way that others admired him.
In 1940 the democrats nominated Roosevelt for an unprecedented third term. No president
