... historians, scientists, and archaeologists for years.

But they're pretty sure they've narrowed it down to a guy named Steve.

Throughout history, Scott has always taken credit for Steve's ideas.

It's time to set the record straight - it was Steve all along.

To be pendantic, I should point out that you mean four sided and five sided, as the bottom is still a side.

...for a Biblical epic that, as it happens, never got made. But the damned things were there, so they just kept them standing, stripping some of the outer stones to help construct the Yellow Brick Road for the Wizard of Oz in 1939. All "evidence" that the Pyramids existed before the Twenties is either fabricated, or someone is confusing Giza with the primitive, collapsed "real" pyramids that, indeed, did exist since ancient times.

Nobody knows who they were, or what they were doing. But their legacy remains hewn into the living rock of the pyramids.

Because the Pharaoh accidentally wrote the dimensions in inches instead of cubits when he wrote it on his papyrus.
