The Great Pyramid has evoked many theories about its construction. With the advent of drone photography, we get a closer look at the summit and can see amazing evidence for the methods used by builders to get megalithic blocks all the way to the top.
There is an opportunity for you to make the discovery for yourself! Watch and listen to the clues and see if you can figure it out before the reveal.
What’s with the lone dark stone that stands out from the yellow limestone? Is it a different composition or was there granite used at the very top?
Do you miss the metal scaffolding that used to mark the original apex or does Khufu’s pyramid look better without it?
