I don’t understand why they need a ‘measuring project’ to measure the base of the pyramid.

Because the pyramid was originally covered in angled casing stones, providing a smooth exterior surface, the original base dimensions were slightly larger than what’s observable today. (info from the article)

So you have hard data to make fun of pyramid power dorks with. This completely crushes one of their favorite claims that the pyramids are more precisely aligned to true north than we can do today.

Because the edges aren’t there any more. Just signs of them.
