Breaking news The Pyramid at Giza is not square

Scientists estimate it is off by 5.5 inches.

livescience.com

Most articles don't mention that the scientists estimate where the case stones were laid. The pyramid used to be covered in limestone.

This story was trending on Facebook. Planes are crashing into oceans, wars are ongoing, but I'm glad someone is researching important things like this. :)

That is important. If they were built by visitors from off the earth, they had to get here. What happens if they were that inaccurate and they missed by that much? You take 5.5 inches and extrapolate to space travel dimensions, they would never have gotten here.

Maybe Juice's ancestors know. I heard a rumor there is a Juice star system only 5.5 light years away but Juice is right here with us, hmmmm.

Shit, let's make it perfectly square. How many tons of rock would we have to remove? :)

Some say that it was not actually stones which were used to build the pyramids, as the labor of cutting them and raising them would have been to great. They believe that a method was developed where you could prepare a powder from the limestone, and then mix it with water and pour it into a form.

This would have been an early version of concrete.

Juice is an alien, that makes perfect sense. When I saw that 2nd head of his, I ignored it, I figured I had had too much beer and JS69's pot.
