Pyramids are the most famous architectural structures in the world. From an engineering point of view, they are primitive structures, just "mountains" created by people. Nevertheless, the goal was achieved for the pyramids became eternal monuments, having survived some Millenniums. For the first time there were built so high buildings that remained until the appearance of the Eiffel tower a kind of a record. They rise among the hot sands of the Libyan Desert and stretch for dozens kilometers from modern Cairo to the Fayum Canal. The oldest of them is the pyramid of Pharaoh Djoser which was built about five thousand years ago. Its height is 60 meters.
The most famous three large pyramids are located near Giza. They are the pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mikerina. The largest of them, the pyramid of Cheops, was built in the 28th century BC. Its height is 147 meters. Each side of the square foot of the pyramid is 233 meters. All in all archaeologists have counted 80 pyramids. Not all of them have survived to this day.
Пирамиды - известнейшие архитектурные сооружения в мире. С инженерной же точки зрения, это примитивные строения, лишь горы, созданные людьми. Тем не менее, цель была достигнута - пирамиды стали вечными монументами, пережив тысячелетия. Впервые были построены настолько высокие сооружения, которые оставались вплоть до появления Эйфелевой башни своеобразным рекордом. Они поднимаются среди горячих песков Ливийской пустыни и тянутся на десятки километров от современного Каира до Фаюмского канала. Самая древняя - пирамида фараона Джосера - сооружена около пяти тысяч лет тому назад. Ее высота 60 метров.
Самые известные три большие пирамиды находятся около Гизы. Это пирамиды Хеопса, Хефрена и Мекерина. Наибольшая из них, пирамида Хеопса, сооружена в 28 веке до нашей эры. Её высота 147 метров. Каждая сторона квадратного подножия пирамиды составляет 233 метра. Всего археологи насчитывают 80 пирамид. Но не все они дошли до наших дней.

In the New year's eve my brother and I helped mother with the cooking for the festive table. The festival was celebrated in the family circle. Our parents have prepared wonderful gifts that awaited us under the Christmas tree. But the most unusual gift presented to us Grandfather Frost, who invited our family to her house. My brother and I were very happy to visit his home in Veliky Ustyug!
The home of Santa Claus is in a pine forest. Around a lot of snow, ice everywhere figure. We walked along the Path of fairy Tales, along which live the fabulous heroes, we had to pass different tests. There we saw the hut on chicken legs, oak with a chain, a house without Windows and doors. Visited in 12 Months and learned what the names of the months in the old style. It was very interesting! And, of course, we visited the home of Santa Claus. His mansion is big and beautiful, it's all wood. And outside there is a huge decorated Christmas tree. In my Grandfather's house 13 rooms! We visited in his office, room crafts, fairy books,... winter vacation Ended, behind many impressions. The most striking of them is the New year. This is the holiday, which is always looking forward to and which begin to prepare in advance. In our family there is a tradition to decorate the tree on December 25. Dad hangs on the branches of the garland, my brother and I decorate the forest beauty Christmas toys, and my mother – tinsel and "rain". On the window stick snowflakes and figurines of fairy tale characters that are cut out of paper. It turns out very nicely.

We visited in his office, room crafts, fairy books, the vault of the outfits of Santa Claus, and even in his bedroom. And then was found by Grandpa and his granddaughter – Snegurochka. With them, we took photos, and sent Mail Santa Claus greeting cards to the grandparents. It was very sad to return back home...
However, when we returned to Moscow, winter break was still going on, and it was a wonderful time. The day my brother and I were walking in the yard. Made snowmen and played snowballs and sledding down the hill on a sled. Went with my parents to the rink. And in the evenings preparing for lessons in the new year. If we finish the school year with good grades, the parents promise to take us for the summer. My brother and I promised to learn "perfectly".
