A little more perspective
The ScIDEP muon-radiography research team describes the pyramid’s actual height as 136.4 meters in its 2025 study. Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities gives 143.5 meters in its general monument description; this comparison follows the explicitly identified actual configuration rather than the larger reference.
Some pale casing remains near the apex while much of the lower masonry is exposed. The illustration keeps that surviving outline, without adding a reconstructed peak or the difference in ground elevation between neighboring pyramids.
