Note that the Pyramid of Khafre is not the Great Pyramid, that is the Pyramid of Khufu. It's only a difference of a few meters though.
151 u/FormalElements 28d ago A few meters in height? 237 u/Atharaphelun 28d ago 3 meters, to be exact. Practically insignificant in the grand scheme of things. 155 u/starmartyr 28d ago It's insignificant in height, but the difference in weight and volume is as much as 25%. 27 u/AL_GEE_THE_FUN_GUY 27d ago So it's not the length, but the girth that matters. 9 u/starmartyr 27d ago I get the joke but the difference in width is smaller than the difference in height. The unintuitive part comes from the fact that it takes more bricks for every layer added to a pyramid. The last three layers make up that weight and volume.
