Hello, class! The topic of my lecture today is the differences between ancient and

modern buildings

The tallest building of the modern world is the Burj Khalifa in the United Arab Emirates

It is 818 meters tall

Ancient buildings were normally built of stone, and they took many years to complete

The tallest building of the ancient world was the Pyramid of Giza in Egypt It was 146 meters tall

They are normally built of steel and concrete, and they only take a few years to

complete They are also much bigger than ancient buildings

They are a lot different from the buildings of the ancient world

They were also much smaller than modern buildings
