The famous pyramid of Cheops was skewed

Знаменитая пирамида Хеопса оказалась перекошеннойThe pyramid is a perfect figure from a mathematical point of view.

The pyramid of Cheops at Giza (Egypt) was warped: its Foundation is formed by irregular quadrangle. Scientists attribute this to a possible error of builders. A study published in the archaeological Bulletin of Aeragram.

The researchers analyzed location 84 discovered on the pyramid label. Them, as suggested by archaeologists, the Egyptians used for the construction of the ancient monument.

The length of the Western and Eastern sides of the base were evaluated using linear regression analysis. Meanwhile, the scientists found that the length of the first is 230,378-230,436 meter, and the second 230,295-230,373 meters. Thus the Western side of the base of the pyramid can be up to 14.1 inch longer than the Eastern.

Despite the differences, scientists appreciate the engineering skill of the ancient Egyptian builders discovered and I think the error is negligible.

The great pyramid was built more than 4.5 thousand years ago and is the largest of its kind monument of the Ancient world. To the XIV century ad it remained the tallest building in the world (about 147 meters). The pyramid is the only one of the seven wonders of the world, preserved to this day.
