Outwardly, the Incalithlon was shaped like the Egyptian pyramid of Cheops, though not quite as high, while covering twice the ground area.
Cheops base area ≈ 230 × 230 = 52,900 m² Incalithlon base area = 2 × 52,900 = 105,800 m² Incalithlon base side = 230 × √2 ≈ 230 × 1.414 ≈ 325 m
“Outwardly the Incalithlon was shaped like the Egyptian pyramid of Cheops, not quite so high, but covering an area of twice as great extent.
This massive pyramid-shaped structure, larger than the Egyptian Great Pyramid of Cheops, contained no windows and housed sacred elements such as the Maxin (an occult odic light), the Holy Seat, and the Unfed Light.
The Khufu ship is associated with King Khufu (Cheops), the second Pharaoh of Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty.
It will thus be seen that the area covered by the mound of Cahokia is about as large as that of the greatest pyramid of Egypt, Cheops, although its height is much less.
I have often seen Indians of pure blood with blue eyes." Quetzalcoatl was represented as large, "with a big head and a heavy beard." The same author speaks (page 44) of "the ocean of ruins all around, not inferior in size to those of Egypt" At Teotihuacan he measured one building two thousand feet wide on each side, and fifteen pyramids, each nearly as large in the base as Cheops.
It is even now, in its ruined condition, 160 feet high, 1400 feet square at the base, and covers forty-five acres; we have only to remember that the greatest pyramid of Egypt, Cheops, covers but twelve or thirteen acres, to form some conception of the magnitude of this American structure.
It is shaped like the pyramid of Cheops.

Pyramid of Cheops
They had built the pyramids, on which Cheops put his name many thousands of years later; when Egypt was swamped by a flood, some seventy-seven thousand years ago, the people tried to climb these pyramids for safety, as the waters rose, but failed in consequence of the smoothness of their sides.
Herodotus describes Cheops (also known as Khufu) and his building of the Great Pyramid in Book 2, Chapter 124-127 of "Histories":
Cheops' Tyranny:
Herodotus portrays Cheops as a tyrannical ruler who oppressed his people to build the pyramid.
"Cheops brought the country into all sorts of misery.
According to Herodotus, Cheops forced labor upon the Egyptians to build the Great Pyramid.
Herodotus mentions that Cheops even resorted to extreme measures, such as the prostitution of his daughter, to fund the construction.
"Cheops...having exhausted his treasures, was compelled to make his daughter enter a brothel and charge for her favors.".
Cheops' Successor:
Herodotus states that Cheops was succeeded by his brother Chephren, who also built a pyramid, but was less oppressive.
"After Cheops, his brother Chephren reigned over Egypt.
"Cheops reigned fifty years; at his death, he was succeeded by his brother Chephren, who imitated the example of Cheops" (Histories, Book 2, 2.127).
"Cheops reigned fifty years; at his death, he was succeeded by his brother Chephren" (Histories, Book 2, 2.127).
"Chephren, who imitated the example of Cheops" (Histories, Book 2, 2.127).
"Mycerinus, the son of Cheops" (Histories, Book 2, 2.129).
Cheops was preceded by a countless host of similar erections which have long since mouldered into ruins.
The great pyramid of Egypt, Cheops, is 746 feet square, 450 feet high, and covers between twelve and thirteen acres.
So that it appears that the base of the Teotihuacan structure is nearly as large as that of Cheops, while that of Cholula covers nearly four times as much space.
The Cheops pyramid, however, exceeds very much in height both the American structures.
533), that "the gallery is one hundred and fifty-seven feet long, increasing in height to over six feet and a half as it penetrates the pyramid; that the well is over six feet square, extending (apparently) down to the base and up to the summit; and that other cross-galleries are blocked up by débris." In the Pyramid of Cheops there is a similar opening or passage-way forty-nine feet above the base; it is three feet eleven inches high, and three feet five and a half inches wide; it leads down a slope to a sepulchral chamber or well, and connects with other passage-ways leading up into the body of the pyramid.
