The Great Pyramids of Giza are one of the seven wonders of the world. The Pyramids are said to have mystic
power and symbolize the power of man's ability to do amazing and improbable things. The overwhelming nature of the process
and preciseness of their construction continues to be a marvel. It is the one and only WONDER which does not require a description
by the writers and poets of history. It is the one and only WONDER that does not need speculations concerning its appearance,
size, and shape. It is the oldest, yet it is the only surviving of the Ancient Wonders. The construction was an engineering
masterpiece which was built 43 centuries ago. The sloping angle of its sides is 51 degrees and 51 mintues exactly. Each side
is carefully oriented with one of the cardinal points of the compass/north, south, east, west. The horizontal cross section
of the pyramid is square at any level with each side measuring 751 feet in length. The structure consists of approximately
2 million blocks of stone each weighing more than two tons. The mystery, which only theories can address, is how was such
a structure built?, how was it so exactly engineered over four thousand years ago? and how has it withstood over 4,000 years
of time? and how it has survived over time? The key seems to be in the "Buliding of the Foundations" first by strategic and
precise design and then with great attention to detail. So it is in the development in areas of life, including achieving
dreams and goals by "Building Positive Foundations Through Sports".
