woosh
Yes, I was doing the akchually thing. That's kind of the joke. Hence the "teeeechnically" part.
I was trying to add to it!
Oh.
Whoops. Sorry, I clearly missed that. I guess I did the woosh. Lol.
But then go and decide to use a square base... SMH.
The great pyramid appears to have an octagonal base.

Not like a full equitable octagon, but four faces each split via a small concavity.
I think the attached picture is the original one an RAF pilot took at dusk when he noticed that the shadow wasn't uniform across the face of one side.
I know the 8 sides are contested, some people say the concavity is an optical illusion.
I'm amazed there hasn't been some kind of laser scan to determine this
Egyptologists are conservative and won't allow any measurements of practically anything anymore.
No looking at the sphinx shafts/cavities (there's an entrance up top), no tomb inspections, no measuring a bunch of stuff.
They even paved over a bunch of shafts for "restoration".

Every time you hear about a new radar scan or whatever, it took years to get through the bureaucracy.
The collected sourced pictures appear to be accurate at any rate.
Damn the sphinx has cavities, better brush it's teeth /jk
Bring on the space lasers
The Jewish ones or the regular ones?
Regular ones. We don't need to hear "Oy vey" every time we need to shoot something.
One could do some photogrammetry and then analyze the 3d mesh. It only requires taking multiple photos from different angles. Might even be able to get something going from online photos, provided you match the time of day for the entire set...
TBF at the time it was green & foresty
TBF he was right
Jaffa, kree!
Indeed
Because I'm a mod both here and there, I'm going to promote another community: https://lemmy.world/c/ancientinternet
We have lots of this sort of thing.
No Elamites.
Oh, so you think that you've got anything better to do with your civilized time? Like drink more room-temperature, unfiltered beer while playing even more senet net hab deep into the night-wenuts?
I hear of places, neb, where frozen water floats in the sea that can cool our beer. Though I do not know what foul sorcery is needed to obtain it. Perhaps we shall gain wisdom from Osiris, whose limbs are intact.
They should have traded one for Stonehenge to really fuck with modern-day antiquarians.
Pff, kids these days. Back then we had Amun, Min and Re as separate entities. And we were happy with it.
