The Great Pyramid of Giza is estimated to consist of about 2.3 million blocks of stone, primarily limestone and granite. The average weight of these stones ranges from 2.5 tons for the limestone blocks to 15 tons for the granite used in the inner chambers. The height of the original pyramid was approximately 146.6 meters (481 feet), although it now stands at around 138.8 meters (455 feet) due to the loss of the outer casing stones.
