Experts calculate that the ancient Egyptians used around 2.3 million stones weighing on average 3 tons to build the Great Pyramid.
But in addition to using so much stone, the builders made sure to erect one of the most accurately built structures on the planet.
Experts believe that the Great Pyramid was the most accurately aligned structure on the surface of the planet,
facing true north with only 3/60th of a degree of error.
Furthermore, it has been determined that once the Great Pyramid of Giza was completed, it was located at the
exact centre of the land mass on Earth.
According to reports, the east/west parallel that crosses the most land and the north/south meridian that crosses the most land intersect in two places on the planet’s surface: One is in the ocean, and one at the location where the Great Pyramid stands today.
For more than 3,800 years, the Pyramid remained the tallest structure ever built by man. The original height of the Great Pyramid of Giza is thought to have been 146.5 metres.
These days you are not permitted to climb this ancient structure however back when you were allowed you would need to climb 203 steps to reach the top.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is unique for lots of reasons.
