Summary[edit]
DescriptionPyramid of Djedefre 03.jpg | The angle of slope of Djedefre's Pyramid was approximately 52°. The casing stones actually had an angle of 64° but they were laid on the limestone pavement which had been cut to slope back towards the Pyramid at an angle of 12° this gave the final angle of 52°. The photograph shows the angled pavement and the transition to a level area at the corners. This probably made cutting the corner stones easier. | ||
