• 10．The Suez Canal，（1）

  it currently exists，is a 193-kilometer artificial waterway connecting the Mediterranean Sea at Port Said to the Red Sea at Port Tewfik.
     This waterway connects the Atlantic and Indian Oceans in a way that doesn't require a ship heading between Europe and Asia（2）

  go around Africa or wait for the ice to melt in the Arctic.
     The canal also，unlike the Panama Canal，has no locks at all，making it（3）

  （easy） for some of the world's ships to slip right through and for the canal（4）

  （expand），should the Egyptian government prioritize such a project.
     As tough as it may have been to build a canal （5）

  this scale，the Suez Canal was far from the first of its kind of area.In fact a canal of this sort was first attempted by Egypt in the 19th century BC，under the rule of Middle Kingdom pharaoh Senusret Ⅱ.A canal was reportedly later opened by the time of the Islamic Caliphates but it was reportedly closed in the 8th century AD.That combined with the Red Sea gradually receding away from what are now the Bitter Lakes（6）

  （cause） the canal to fade into disuse.
     In the following decades，a railway was set up between Alexandria and Suez but this wasn't good enough for global trade，so guess what they thought of？That's right，（7）

  canal!
     Construction broke ground in 1859 and took ten years（8）

  a grand total of over 1.5 million workers throughout the decade.
     The area，seeing virtually immediate success，（9）

  （declare）in the Constantinople Convention to be an international zone under British protection.This（10）

  play a pivotal part in the World Wars，and also contribute to conflict between Britain and Egypt in the Suez Crisis.
