Did You Know?
The Great Pyramid stood about 146 metres when finished around 2560 BC and remained the tallest structure humans had built until Lincoln Cathedral's spire in the 14th century — a record of roughly 3,800 years.
The clock: Giza keeps UTC+2. The pyramid's sides are aligned to true north with an error of about a twentieth of a degree, which is more accurate than most modern buildings manage.
