Crazy! Perhaps even more mental than the ones at Giza, here you can see an earlier attempt which failed a bit when the angle was too steep, so they just carried on with a narrower angle!

Amazing, just amazing to be able to see something that was made so long ago, back in 2900BC. They were so far ahead of their time, and how they could create such a structure without any machines or power is mindboggling. Truly a great place to visit.
