ORIGIN OF MATERIALS

The blocks of limestone constituting the body of the pyramid, according to our postulate, are taken from the plateau of Giza, at the closest, by directly exploiting the horizontal stratums of the plateau:


Remains of the quarries at the foot of Kephren . . .and at the N.W. corner of Mykerinos (covered in sand)


Schema of the system of the natural double fracturing of the rock on the Giza plateau

Nowadays like in the old days, no one can ignore the orientation, the geometry, and the frequency of this fracturing system at the risk of only extracting dog-eared, deformed or cracked blocks from the quarry, that would be difficult, if not to say impossible, to use.
