The Great Pyramid is composed of four triangular sides and a square base. It covered an area of 13 acres. The original height of the Great Pyramid was 485 feet, but due to erosion its height declined to 450 feet. Each side of the square base is 755.5 feet in length. The angle of the pyramid is 51 degrees, 51 minutes, and 14.3 seconds. Now the Great Pyramid is built on a perfect level ground. Its level is so exact that it varies less that 1/2 inches over the 13 acres says Max Thoth. This is an amazing feat for the ancient surveyors and would have been difficult, if not almost impossible to match, even today with our advanced technology. It consists of approximately 2.5 million blocks that weight from 2 tons to over 70 tons. The blocks on the top of the pyramid are from the same site and time period as those on the bottom. The stones are cut so precisely that a credit card cannot fit between them. No one knows if the builders deliberately or inadvertently left the capstone off, but this will be discussed in Part Two. Originally, the Great Pyramid The Great Pyramid Decoded was covered with highly polished limestone’s that reflected the sunlight. Peter Lemesurier states in his book that the Great Pyramid cast a star light reflection on the desert floor, which the Egyptians used to discern the seasons of the year and as a beacon light. Max Toth points out in his book Pyramid that archaeologists believed that the copper tools of the Egyptians used during the estimated period the great Pyramid was built, would be too soft for cutting the stones. How these stones were cut is great mystery. Even with today’s technology the cutting of these stones is an awesome task. How these stones were transported and put into place is another mystery. Now there are all types of theories about the construction of the Great pyramid but none of them furnish satisfactory answers.
