The Great Pyramid rising course by course, twenty years in sixty seconds, at survey measurements with the interior cut open: the passages, the well, the Grand Gallery, the chambers. The numbers count blocks per course and the height reached. The method is the one proposed by the film Great Pyramid K 2019, and is labelled as such.

technique

Three.js with an in-house material: light picks an index from the table (R2) and the fraction is resolved by Bayer 4×4 in the fragment; cutaway by clipping plane; courses as real geometry (210 frusta); interior from the Great Pyramid AEM model (aminetti, Sketchfab, CC-BY 4.0), inches converted, ~2 m off the survey; human figures as 1.7 m capsules, to be swapped for Mixamo-compatible GLB characters
