13、sed a little rocknroll.Long-ago builders could have attached wooden pole s to thestones and rolled then across the sand,the scientists say.“Technically,I think what theyre proposing is possible,”physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks.And ther

14、es noobvious answer.On average,each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a largepickup truck.The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about onekilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths.Manyscientist

15、s suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板).Then they would havedragged them along paths.To make the work easier,workers may have lubricated the paths eitherwith wet clay or with the fat from cattle.Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds anddragging heavy objects ov

16、er sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea.Researchers found small amounts of fat,as well asa large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However,physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way,who led thenew study.West said,“I was inspired while watching a television prog

17、ram showing how sledsmight have helped with pyramid construction.I thought,Why dont they just try rolling thethings?“A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to itssides,he realized.That,he notes,should make a block of stone”a lot easier to roll than asquare”.So

18、he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block.Thataction turned the block into somewhat a wheel.Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled.The researchers found they could浙江专升本考前 10 套密押预测卷英语

19、欣迈专升本-浙江专升本辅导专业品牌3easily roll the block along different kinds of paths.They calculated that rolling the block requiredabout as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.West hasnt tested his idea on larger blocks,but he thinks rolling has clear advantages oversliding.At least,workers wouldnt
