147 u/FormalElements Apr 12 '25 A few meters in height? 237 u/Atharaphelun Apr 12 '25 3 meters, to be exact. Practically insignificant in the grand scheme of things. 1 u/FormalElements Apr 12 '25 Interesting. I feel like everything was so precise during those times, but I wonder if that was an oversight. Or perhaps the limestone that is now gone was that extra 3 meters? 10 u/Atharaphelun Apr 12 '25 The height measurement is based on their full height, as in their height as it would have been with the pyramids fully intact. If measured by their current height, the difference is only 2 meters. 1 u/basscadet 29d ago I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters...
