    The great pyramid appears to have an octagonal base.

    Not like a full equitable octagon, but four faces each split via a small concavity.

    I think the attached picture is the original one an RAF pilot took at dusk when he noticed that the shadow wasn’t uniform across the face of one side.

    I know the 8 sides are contested, some people say the concavity is an optical illusion.

        Egyptologists are conservative and won’t allow any measurements of practically anything anymore.

        No looking at the sphinx shafts/cavities (there’s an entrance up top), no tomb inspections, no measuring a bunch of stuff.

        They even paved over a bunch of shafts for “restoration”.

        Every time you hear about a new radar scan or whatever, it took years to get through the bureaucracy.

        The collected sourced pictures appear to be accurate at any rate.
