Pyramid building is stacking stones, not rocket science...but a 3 sided pyramid is stronger and easier to build...yet the ancient societies built only 4 sided pyramids...an oddity.

Actually as anyone who have played with blocks or legos as a child before knows that it is actually easier to build a 4 sided pyramid that looks balanced on all sides (sides match each other in basic look) than to build a three side pyramid that looks balanced on all sides.

The angles are easier to get right on a four-sided pyamid, both on the pyramid as a whole and on the uniform building-blocks you'll need.
