The Great Pyramid of Khufu was once faced with pale, carefully finished limestone. Today its rough inner courses are exposed. What changed? Follow the surviving casing stones, the journey from the quarry to Giza, and the later history that transformed the pyramid's surface.
This episode separates what the stones show from what we can only infer about the monument's original appearance.
