History for Granite has some great videos on the construction methods of the pyramids. Fron how the casing stones were cut to size, to trying to figure out where the construction ramps would have been. Very interesting channel.
Reminds me of the time a bunch of people were fascinated with a pen that writes up side down and someone blurted out ‘pencils’. This was after some Seinfeld episode about a pen.

Using a wheel to measure wouldn't necessarily make the piramyd sides divisible by pi. It depends on the radius of the wheel. Am I wrong?
If you use full revolutions of the wheel the end result will be a multiple of pi.

The bent pyramid of Sneferu is proof that the pyramids weren't built by some higher being.
