Menkaure Pyramid to be Re-Cased in Granite: Mission Begins

January 28, 2024

In this video, we'll bring you the latest news on the Pyramid of Menkaure, and we must admit, we have some mixed feelings about a new archaeological mission that has just kicked off.

A joint effort between Egyptian and Japanese archaeologists aims to study, restore, document, and re-assemble the granite casing stones of the Menkaure Pyramid. The ambitious project spans three years and involves various techniques such as drawing, photogrammetry, documentation, and laser scanning.

However, we won't mince words in expressing our concerns about the plan to re-assemble all fallen granite casing stones onto the bottom 16 courses of the pyramid. In our opinion, this goal seems somewhat impractical and unrealistic. Join us in this video as we delve into the details and share our candid thoughts on the matter.
