The base of the pyramid cover 13 acres and its base is 754 feet. The original entrance was 15 meters higher  then The one used today. Al Mamum opened the new entrance because he couldn’t find the original one. The passage only leads to a subterranean chamber 100 feet horizontally ( a subterranean Chamber is supposed a decoy tomb or a abandoned  one that the king decided he Changed his mind about it) . This passage leads down into the earth under the pyramid, This passage is closed to the public. With the Casing off the pyramid it lost 11m. The top platform is 10m square. The descending Passage is closed of by a steel door. A change is the change of white ‘casing stones. It has changed from the outside mostly naturally like erosion or the weather.
