Timeline of what we have studied, till now.

These dates should all be in your first note frame.
1. How old  are the earliest Homo Sapiens (us)  remains.
2. When did people take the Great Leap forward  (hint, if you don't get this, you too might have to go back 50,000 years hehehe).
3. This climate event ended, which made agriculture a possibility.
4. When  agrarian societies first appeared

This Date we talked about, check your class notes

6.When Hieroglyphics started to be developed.
7.When the Rosetta Stone was carved.
8.When the Great Pyramids of Giza were built

Just how big is the school compared to the Great Pyramid of Giza

The blog posting before has your measurements of the school

Length of school (without Gym) is 95.4m
Width of School (avg. out) 49.6m

Area of School, W X L= 95.4X49.6=4731.84 M sq.

Great Pyramid of Giza is 440 Cubits, which is 230.35m
230.35X230.35=53061.12m sq.

53061.12/4731.84  11.2 Bruce schools to equal the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza

Volume = Area times Height

Bruce 4731.84X5=23659.2m cubed

Giza 53061.12X146.7/3=2594688.29m cubed

2594688.29m cubed/23659.2m cubed = 110 Bruce Schools fitting inside the space of the Pyramid
