Task 9. Cross out the wrong word.

Let`s look at the history/story of the Pyramids. There are many theories about the topic/reason the Pyramids were built. The Greeks believed that the first pyramid was instructed/constructed as a memorial to the wicked King Khufu`s daughter, while during medieval times they were believed to be warehouses for storing grain. Arab philosophers thought they were libraries for destroying/preserving Egyptian scientific and medical wisdom. Modern theories range from the pyramids being used as predictive/forecasting devices, to a theory that the pyramids were constructed by aliens as a road mark/sign! However, if they were built by humans, then it was an amazing achievement/agreement, especially because they used such simple/primitive equipment, such as building ramps and copper and stone tools. The popular belief used to be that the workers were slaves or built the pyramids out of religious duty, but it is now believed that they did so as a form of taxation/relaxation.
