The height of the bricks used to build the Great Pyramid of Giza varies, as the stones are not uniform in size. On average, the limestone blocks used in the pyramid measure about 1.2 meters (4 feet) in height. However, the larger granite stones used in the inner chambers can be even taller, reaching up to 2.5 meters (8 feet) in height. Overall, the dimensions of the blocks were carefully chosen to fit together in the pyramid's massive structure.
