The Fascinating Secrets and Mysteries of the Pyramids of Giza

While the stone blocks were being transported, a group of people dragged the 2-ton blocks on a sled along the riverbank. They then arranged these blocks into place.

The End Result

When the pyramid was finally completed, it stood at a height of 145.75m. Over the course of millennia, it has shrunk by about ten meters. The surface of the pyramid was covered with very smooth, almost imperceptible limestone.

Each side of the pyramid is aligned to a side of the world, facing east, west, north, and south. The pyramid is made up of around 2.3 million stone blocks. There is an entrance on the north side.

The Interior of the Pyramid

The interior of the pyramid consists of three chambers connected by numerous corridors. At the heart of the pyramid is the King’s Chamber, which houses a sarcophagus made of red granite.
