12-THE EYE OF RA

THE EYE OF RA My ears perked up. CHEOPS was one of the great pharaohs of Egypt. The pyramid that Cheops was buried inside was the biggest one ever built! Now I was getting really excited. Mostly because I was going to learn more about an amazing pyramid. But also because a breeze had started blowing, The professor and I were able to take off our clothespins.

我的耳朵竖起来了。 CHEOPS是埃及伟大的法老之一。 埋葬胡夫的金字塔是有史以来最大的金字塔!现在我真的很兴奋。 主要是因为我想了解更多关于金字塔的知识。 但也因为开始刮起了微风，教授和我可以把衣夹取下来了。 我揉了揉鼻子，然后继续在笔记本上乱涂乱画。 “我其实是个埃及古物学家，”教授解释说。 “这意味着我是埃及文化专家。 总之，有一天我在胡夫金字塔里研究象形文字，
