The great pyramid has an octagonal base.

Not like a full equitable octagon, but quarter is split into two sides via a small concavity.
I think the attached picture is the original one in RAF pilot took at dusk when he noticed that the shadow wasn’t uniform across the face of one side.

I hear of places, neb, where frozen water floats in the sea that can cool our beer. Though I do not know what foul sorcery is needed to obtain it. Perhaps we shall gain wisdom from Osiris, whose limbs are intact.
