  3. Hi Paula! I´llgive a try with some.

    1_The first Star Wars film was released in 1977.

    2_The first album in History was recorded by Emile Berline. The record was not titled.

    3_More than 26 million copies of The Pillars of the earth have been sold in the world since the release.

    4_10 Studio albums have been written by Pearl Jam


    5_Dr Who has been the most famous Science Fiction Saga since i can remember.

    6_Inception Soundtrack is composed by Zack Zimmerman. Or maybe it has been dreamed by you...

    7_The Pantheon, as well as known as "La Rotonda" was built by Adriano emperor between 118-125 A.D. The temple was completed over the ruins of an ancient one that was ordered by the commissioned Marcus Agrippa over the 25 B.C.
    Pantheon comes from the greek, and the meaning is "temple of all Gods"...maybe the original who was ordered by Agrippa, and totally destroyed, should be named Phanteon instead.

    Sorry for the rambling ^^´
