Great Pyramid Data

The Great Pyramid 2005

* Original) level (the estimated 146.60 m, about 280 Ellen King (1 King Selle ≈ 52.3 cm)
* Height (today): about 138.75 m
* Angle: 51 ° 50 '
* Originally) side (in the estimated 230.33 m, about 440 yards King
* Page length (today): approx 225 m
* Original) (square)-Size (: approximately 53,000 sqm (5.3 hectares)
* Original) volume of the pyramid body, without deduction of voids (: ≈ 2.58 million m³
* Original) volume of the pyramid, after deduction of all known spaces (: 2.50 million m³
* Surface area (originally) about 85,500 sq
* Average size of the visible blocks: 1.0 m in width, height and depth (Most units, however, have a rectangular shape.)
* Average mass of a stone block: 2.5 tons
* The largest mass of a stone block: 7.5 tonnes
* Number of blocks: about 2.5 million
* Estimated total weight of the pyramid: about 6.25 million tonnes

An accurate determination of the original pyramid dimensions is not possible, since the edges and surfaces are now largely dismantled and destroyed. This makes it difficult for example) an accurate measurement of angle (angle of inclination. In addition, the building itself is not perfect in its symmetry, the differences arise in the measurements. In the Egyptological literature, the information is, to Peter Jánosi, Mark Lehner, Miroslav Verner, Zahi Hawass, and Alberto Siliotti Basismaß to the page length (from 230.33 to 230.37 m) and the slope calculated from the amount (146.59 to 146, 60 m) is slightly different. The slope is generally given in recent literature, with 51 ° 50 ', leaving the arcseconds usually ignored.

With the origin of just below 146.60 m, it was almost 4000 years the tallest building of its time and was only in the 14th Century by the Lincoln Cathedral surpassed.
