The bent pyramid may not have been faulty, but instead had a different internal layout because of it's use in cult worship rather than only burial.

Great video from History for Granite archeologist on the subject.

Yeah, I was hoping someone mentioned that guy. He's doing great work actually gathering data.

He builds up his photographs a lot in that video, which is totally justified since seemingly no-one in history has ever bothered to (accurately) publish what's there before, but that's not his normal style. He's usually just gathering all the available published accounts and noting what makes sense and what doesn't.

It's great to see someone say they don't have all the answers but that there are answerable questions that can be posed. Even better when they go get the answers themselves - without breaking any rules.
