The Great Pyramid of Giza has been studied longer than almost any other structure on earth. We have the papyrus diary of an official who transported its stones. We have the graffiti of the workers who built its sealed chambers. We have two and a half centuries of precision measurements. And in 2017, we found a room inside it that nobody knew existed.
And still — after all of that — we cannot explain the joints between its casing stones, half a millimetre wide across surfaces the size of a desk. We cannot explain how its orientation to true north was achieved to within three arc minutes using copper tools and human muscle. We cannot explain why the Grand Gallery was built with the ambition of a cathedral when a simple corridor would have done the job. We cannot explain what is in the 2017 void.
In this episode of Side Quests of Reality, Craig walks through the complete case file: the stone arithmetic, the Petrie survey, the stellar alignment problem, the theories — mainstream and fringe — the 2017 ScanPyramids discovery, the mathematics that won’t go away, and the most interesting fact of all: that the civilization that built it recorded everything, and never wrote down how.
