Archaeological Revelation: Giza’s Pyramids Have Eight Sides, Study Shows

Built with remarkable precision thousands of years ago, the Great Pyramids of Giza are among the world’s most impressive man-made structures. Historians have long assumed these iconic pyramids had four sides, but recent research suggests they actually possess eight sides. A study by researcher Akio Kato from Kanagawa University in Japan uncovered that the pyramids’ concave design creates an optical illusion when viewed from the ground, making them appear as four-sided pyramids. However, when observed from above, the eight sides become evident. This breakthrough challenges traditional beliefs about the shape of these ancient wonders.
