Question #N1054
For centuries, scholars have debated the origins of the Great Pyramid of Giza. One school of thought posits that the pyramid was built by the ancient Egyptians, while another school of thought attributes its construction to aliens from outer space. The ancient Egyptians, for their part, believed in a system of gods and goddesses, and some scholars argue that the pyramid was built as a tomb for a powerful pharaoh. The theory of alien intervention, on the other hand, relies on the idea that the pyramid could not have been built with the technology that was available to the ancient Egyptians. This theory is often cited as evidence of the ancient Egyptians’ advanced knowledge of astronomy and mathematics, as they were able to align the pyramid with the stars. However, there is no concrete evidence to support this theory.
Which of the following statements best summarizes the author’s viewpoint on the origins of the Great Pyramid of Giza?Correct Answer is: C
The author presents both the Egyptian and alien theories but does not explicitly state a viewpoint on the origins of the pyramid. The author states that there is no concrete evidence to support the theory of alien intervention, and the author does not explicitly endorse the theory that the pyramid was built as a tomb for a powerful pharaoh. Therefore, the most likely conclusion is that the author does not explicitly state a viewpoint on the origins of the pyramid but presents both the Egyptian and alien theories, leaving the reader to form their own conclusion.
