The Pyramid is made of Limestone blocks (weighing more than 2 tons each). The slope of the pyramid rises at an 53, 10' angle, steeper than its neighbor Khufu's pyramid which has an angle of 51, 50'40". The pyramid sits on bedrock 10 m (33 ft) higher than Khufu's pyramid, which makes it appear to be taller.
