Papyrus documents and existing cubit measuring rods give us the units of measure used to specify the plan of the pyramid and so it is thought that, at construction, the Great Pyramid was 280 Egyptian Old Royal Cubits tall (146.6 metres or 481 feet), but with erosion and the theft of its topmost stone (the pyramidion) its current height is 455.21 feet approximately 138.8 m and that each base side was 440 (20.63 inch) royal cubits.[11] Thus, the base was originally 231 m on a side and covered approximately 53,000 square metres with an angle of 51.50.40 degrees (seked = 5½)—close to the ideal for a stable pyramidal structure. Today each side has an approximate length of about 230.4 meters(755.8 feet). The reduction in size and area of the structure into its current rough-hewn appearance is due to the absence of its original polished casing stones, some of which measured up to two and a half metres thick and weighed more than 15 tonnes.

The Great Pyramid at Giza was originally about 146 meters tall, but it has lost about 10 meters in height over the millennia so it is about 136m. The base of the Great Pyramid is 55,000 meters.

The Great Pyramid at Giza or the Great Pyramid of Khufu (or Cheops as the pharaoh was called by the Greeks) was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and is the only one of the seven wonders still visible today.
The Great Pyramid at Giza was also the tallest structure in the world for more than 4300 years, originally standing 481 feet high, with sides about 755 feet wide. It was built from about 2,000,000 blocks of stone averaging about two tons each.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu was built around 2560 B.C, taking about twenty years to complete, as the final resting place of the sarcophagus of Pharaoh Khufu.
(P.S. My seal point siamese cat is called Khufu and looks regal!).
