But a new study suggests they used a little rocknroll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to th

13、e stones and rolled them 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 theres no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighe

14、d about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). The

15、n they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researche

16、rs found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West think there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study. West said, “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid

17、construction. I thought, Why dont they just try rolling the things ? ” A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized . That, he notes , should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”.So he tried it.He and his students tied

18、some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action 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 easily roll the block along different kinds of path

19、s. They calculated that rolling the block required about 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 over sliding. At least, workers wouldnt have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.46

20、.Its widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by _. A.rolling them on roadsB.pushing them over the sand C.sliding them on smooth pathsD.dragging them on some poles47.The underlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4 means_.
