One Egyptian pyramid that is close to a "golden pyramid" is the Great

Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Cheops or Khufu). Its


slope of 51° 52' is close to the "golden" pyramid inclination of 51° 50' –
and even closer to the π-based pyramid inclination of 51° 51'. However,
several other mathematical theories of the shape of the great pyramid,
based on rational slopes, have been found to be both more accurate
and more plausible explanations for the 51° 52' slope.
