Great Pyramid Visibility: Not From Afar

Despite its massive size (originally 146.6 m / 481 ft), the Great Pyramid of Giza cannot be seen from "great distances" (hundreds of km) due to:

• Earth's Curvature: Horizon at 10 m height = 11 km; at 146 m = 43 km. Beyond that, it's below the horizon.
• Atmospheric Haze: Dust, pollution, humidity scatter light, reducing contrast.
• Angular Size: At 50 km, it subtends <0.02°—near human resolution limit.

Realistic Visibility: Clear days, from elevated points (Cairo Citadel, Mokattam Hills) ~15–25 km. From space: easily seen in photos (with zoom), not naked eye.

No "two distant places" exist where it's visible to the unaided eye beyond ~50 km. The claim is a myth.
