The Great Pyramid's Sides

Featured

Many people vividly remember the Great Pyramid of Giza as having four perfectly flat sides, a quintessential image from history books and documentaries. Yet, a closer look reveals a subtle, astonishing detail.

What People Remember

People commonly believe the Great Pyramid of Giza has only four smooth, triangular faces.

What's Actually True

In reality, each of the Great Pyramid's four faces is slightly concave, creating an eight-sided structure that is particularly visible from the air at sunrise and sunset during the equinoxes.
