What Happened to the Giza Pyramid Granite Casing Stones? | Ancient Architects

摘要
The Giza pyramids have stood proudly for thousands of years, through many turbulent periods of Egyptian history, and although the Great Pyramid of Khufu gets all the attention, the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure are also incredible in their own right.
The Great Pyramid was completely cased in fine Tura limestone, but the first one or two courses of the Khafre pyramid, and the first 15 or 16 courses of the Menkaure pyramid were cased in granite.
I believe this was all because of flood defence and a video I made in 2021 explains why. Click here to watch: https://youtu.be/wVyVJ1iUEBg
But when we look closer at the granite casing stones on both pyramids, we do often see a strange outer appearance - like a shell. It looks like its flaking, like there is a rind on the outside of each stone that’s coming away.
Why is it like this? Watch the video to find out.
