Of Egypt, is intending to put a first

Of the great pyramid on the plain
of Gizeh, for the benefit of the
boats on the Nile. Thus to turn
the tomb Of the Pharaohs into q

those who boat on the Nile. This
pyramid, the largest, is said to have
been built by Cheops, some two
thousand years before the coming
Of Christ. 1t is said by Herodotus
that one hundred Thousand men
were engaged steadily for twenty
years in putting up this monstrous
fabric. Its base is a polygon, each
side Of which is 1884 feet, the
whole base occupying some thirteen
acres. Its height is four hundred
and eighty feet. Is there another
revolving light in the whole world
placed upon a structure Of art SO
high as that? But alas !! Rameses
and the Pharaohs, while they were
sacrificing human lives and freely
lavishing their treasures OF gold in
building these mOnstrous tombs in
which to have their bodies deposit.
