A The world is full of things that are strange and out-of-place. Read the following information and circle the correct answer. 1 Japan's Underwater Pyramids In the deep water of the ocean near Yonaguni Island, there are very large stones that look like they were made by humans into a giant pyramid. No one knows who made it. No one knows how long ago it was made. 2 This is strange because: (a) Japanese pyramids are always on land. (b) Pyramids are not usually found in Japan. Easter Island's Giant Stone Heads Easter Island is a very small island very far away from any other land. It is most famous for having over 800 giant human heads, called Moai, carved out of stone. These heads face out toward the sea. Nobody knows why or when they were made. This is strange because: (a) Giant heads are usually made of wood. (b) Nobody knows who made them. 3 Rome's Spaceship Painting In 1961, geologists in Rome, Italy, were digging into a hill just outside of the city. As they dug into the hill, they discovered a small stone room that had been buried for thousands of years. Inside the room, they found a few coins. But on the wall was the real surprise. All four walls were painted, and on one of the walls was painted something that looked like a spaceship. Nobody knows exactly what the painting is supposed to be. If it is a building, it is a very strange looking building! This is strange because: (a) The idea of spaceships did not exist thousands of years ago. (b) Stone rooms usually don't have coins in them.
