Arab Weather - The Pyramids of Giza in Egypt are still the focus of attention of scientists from all over the world, who seek to uncover their secrets and construction methods that have baffled specialists throughout the ages. A new study has revealed that the pyramids have deceived human eyes for decades, and that they are not, as previously believed, quadrilateral.

The pyramids have eight faces instead of four.

A study conducted by researcher Akio Kato from the Department of Mathematics and Physics at Kanagawa University in Japan has shown that the famous pyramids of Giza have eight faces instead of four. The secret is due to the concave shape of the pyramids, which has not been observed before.

The Japanese researcher explained that the true shape of the pyramids is only revealed when viewed from above, where it becomes clear that they have a concave shape. Each face of the pyramids includes a central line extending from the top to the base, so that the sides of each face meet at a slight concavity. This leads to the final shape of the pyramids being an octagonal pyramid, not a quadrilateral as was previously thought.

Pyramid of Khufu: Amazing Concave Feature

Cato asserted that the Great Pyramid of Khufu had a striking concave property, with each of its faces slightly curved along its centerline from base to apex, making it an octagonal concave pyramid, rather than a traditional square pyramid.

The Japanese researcher explained that these unique characteristics were intended to enhance the stability of the pyramids and ensure their longevity, explaining that the eight sides were necessary to ensure the stability of the pyramid in the face of severe natural forces such as earthquakes and rainstorms in the long term.

Controversy over this theory

Although this belief is not new, as it was promoted by some scientists in the 1940s and 1970s, some specialists in Egypt have previously denied the validity of these theories. They insisted that the three pyramids at Giza take the traditional tetrahedral shape, with a regular polygon base and four triangles as side faces.
