It seems quite an omission that this article doesn't include any information on when the pyramid was constructed. I would add this information if I wads able. Sipos0 (talk) 00:37, 30 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

angle question

edit

The article says that when cracks began to form at the bottom of the pyramid, the builders decided to lower the height. But how would this lead to the pyramid's slope being steeper at the top than at the bottom? Shouldn't it be the reverse? --Allen 01:09, 28 July 2006 (UTC) the pirmid is 698.5 long —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.165.43.146 (talk) 22:50, 21 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Ancient Egyptian Name

edit

I'm sure it's in someone's plans (hint hint) to do that here, but it would be neat to add the Ancient Egyptian name (in Egyptian) to this pyramid, complete with Unicode programming. Those articles about Userkaf's and Sahura's made me sure pharaoh Khafra deserves one too! — Preceding unsigned comment added by EammonRhys (talkcontribs) 02:05, 28 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Pythagorean triple

edit

By my maths, one needs to count in half-cubits to get an integral triple from the dimensions. (411,548,685) Is there a source that clarifies the basis for this claim? 109.255.211.6 (talk) 19:34, 30 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for pointing this out. I removed it for now until someone can come up with a source. Hypnôs (talk) 20:19, 30 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
