Bent Pyramid

Among the pyramids of Egypt, I just discovered that there are actually more than the famous three at Giza, and I'm disappointed that it was a surprise since that sort of indicates that quality that many Americans have, stereotyping and lack of information on foreign countries and cultures. Oh well; now I know.

Anyway, among the pyramids of Egypt I found this really cool one near Dahshur called the "Bent Pyramid". As you can see, if the picture hasn't been taken down yet, the pyramid's diagonal edges indeed appear bent. I find this really cool because it looks as if the structure is bulging out crazily, ready to burst.
