"The Great Pyramid is called by the Egyptians 'Yekhet Khufu' or the Glorious Place of Khufu and was built by Kheops, the Khufu of the Egyptians. The outermost covering has now disappeared, except for insignificant fragments on the base below the entrance. The length of each side is now 746 ft., but was formerly about 756 ft.; the present perpendicular height is 450 ft., while originally, including the nucleus of rock at the bottom and the apex, which has now disappeared, it is said to have been 481 ft."--Baedeker 1914
