The Great Pyramid Looked Really Great

Back in the day it probably looked absolutely amazing in it’s polished limestone facing:

” The current outer surface of the Great Pyramid at Giza is made of rough limestone blocks, colored a dark sandy brown from hundreds of years of pollution and weathering. But when it was first built, there was a smooth layer of fine white limestone on the outside of the structure, all cut to the same angle and polished to a shine so bright it almost glowed. “

Amazing.
