The Great Pyramid - Egyptologist Sir Flinders Petrie

Time: 1882

Place: Egypt

Details: The first precise measurements of the pyramid were made by Egyptologist Sir Flinders Petrie in 1880–82 and published as The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh. Many of the casing stones and inner chamber blocks of the Great Pyramid fit together with extremely high precision. Based on measurements taken on the north-eastern casing stones, the mean opening of the joints is only 0.5 millimeters (0.020 in) wide.
