In context

Use the Great Pyramid of Giza for comparisons of ancient monumental geometry. Its 230 m base-side reference and 146 m height create a broad, massive profile that is best compared with other large masonry monuments; slender towers and statues emphasize a very different relationship between footprint and height.
