El misterio de los extraterrestres siempre ha sido uno que me interesaba. Mucha gente cree que no hay ningún modo de que ellos podrían existir, pero creo que es mucho más improbable que los seres humanos sean los únicos seres vivos en todo el universo. El hecho de que nunca hayamos visto los extraterrestres (algunos dicen que los han visto), no significa que no estén ahí. Hay muchas cosas raras en nuestra historia y en el mundo que podrían mostrar que sí han visitado nuestro planeta, como unas construcciones demasiado avanzadas para el nivel de la cultura del tiempo o similitudes entre diseños e ideas entre algunas culturas antiguas que han sido separadas por los océanos y nunca tenían ningún contacto entre sí mismos.

Una de las ruinas que siempre me ha interesado son las Pirámides del Cairo. Son unas construcciones que están rodeadas del misterio de su creación. Los egipcios no tenían la tecnología bastante avanzada como para construir algo así, o así creen los científicos y arqueólogos de hoy. Las pirámides sirvieron como las tumbas de los faraones y allí fue donde escondieron sus riquezas para ser enterados con ellas. Unas de las leyendas y creencias es que las construyeron los extraterrestres y que sus dioses fueron esos mismos extraterrestres que les dieron estos edificios. Tal vez nunca sabremos la verdad o la manera en la que erigieron las pirámides.
Exercise 7
Step 1
1 of 3
In this exercise, you have to think about a legend or a myth you know and think about how to explain it.
Step 2
2 of 3
Think about all you have learned in this exercise and all the myths and legends you have also heard from your classmates and pick one you liked the most. Try thinking of a way how to explain it, its origins, and the function it had.
Step 3
3 of 3
Sometimes legends and myths have special functions in society, to make it obey certain rules, to make it more obedient, to make it not question certain things and rules etc. Think if maybe your pick had that kind of purpose in the civilization it originated from.
