In some places.

Those are big ones, but there's other ones that are smaller.

Very much like that Facebook picture there, I guess, is a good nub picture.

But even in Menkaure, there's some evidence that they were flattening some surfaces of the pyramid.

Whether or not they intended to flatten the whole thing, we don't know.

Funnily enough, they have actually found that there's probably another hidden entrance to this behind that blank flattened wall there on the Turkey today, airfield anomalies under Menkaure Pyramid.

So this is on the eastern side, I guess, of the pyramid.

Yeah, the eastern side where the pyramid temple is.

The entrance is in the north.

But there's a flattened part of this wall on the eastern side, and they've been hitting that with like a radar thing, and they found that there are some anomalies behind there, so there might well be an entrance behind this wall.

Well, for sure.

And there's some evidence that they had a patch like that.

One of the hypotheses, again, I got to credit Kyle and Russ from Brothers Construction Guys.

So they look at this stuff and they have a great theory about this because a lot of the casing stones are missing on the back, but we found blocks that were smooth like that with the angle for the other side.

So what I think there were probably four...

patches like that now what you could be one possible explanation for this is like well you you very carefully grind and finish a section on each side because that sets your angle once you set your angle you can use that patch as a reference point to then basically try to finish the whole rest of the pyramid at that exact angle so you've got to start somewhere you you very carefully set your angle

correctly on that patch and then you can you can use that as a reference to then smooth out the rest of the surface which you say smooth out in places is this much granite you've got to remove

Like a foot of granite has got to come off these stones to get down to that level.

Like they're so pillowy.

Pillowy, it's granite.
