Recent research reveals that Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza has more sides than previously thought. It is not just a square pyramid; it is a concave octagonal pyramid, with each face slightly indented. This discovery was made possible by aerial photography in 1926, which showed the pyramid's unique shape. The indents along the pyramid's faces are believed to enhance its stability against natural forces over the centuries. Despite its impressive design, some internal corridors and rooms may have been abandoned due to instability, raising questions about the builders' intentions.
