This is what the pyramids used to look like. They were covered with polished white limestone and had a peak made of pure gold.

      They didn’t demolish a limestone pyramid and replace it with what you see now… What you’re seeing now is what was underneath a layer of limestone. They dismantled the limestone slowly to use it for building materials.

        It’s still limestone. The core masonry, the bulk of the pyramid, is made of locally quarried limestone, while the casing stones and finished interior spaces are made of higher quality limestone brought in from elsewhere.

        the limestone was clearly already used as building material… why would they demolish a nice building for the limestone only to rebuild it but worse

      I have the same question about fried chicken. Why do people eat the chicken and replace it with bones? It costs money to buy the bones. Why not just eat the chicken and not bother replacing it with bones?
