The most mysterious constructions on this world.
The basic quantifiable mysteries are size, height, weight.
1. They are very big. The pyramid of Cheops measures about 140 meters, weighs about 6.500.000 tons. The base makes 230 x 230 meters.
2. They are made of 2.5 (sic!) ton blocks.
3. The surface of blocks did not crack along layers after thousands of years of exposure to wind and sun.
4. The seams between blocks are very fine, about 1 mm.
It is really amazing!
