Few people know that on the Giza plateau (Egypt) there are not only mysterious pyramids, but also other structures that cause even more fierce controversy among scientists and archaeologists. One such object is the Temple of Khafre, whose walls are made up of what are called curved stones.
The photographs, which have long since flown around the world and are not news for those who are interested in the mysteries of ancient civilizations, clearly show that the stones from which the temple was built have a complex 3D shape. These are not simple parallelepipeds (brick shape), but curved blocks weighing up to 150 tons.
Most scientists and researchers agreed that all the stones were mined nearby, but otherwise there is no unity.
Thoughts that the walls were bent by someone (or something) after the erection come by themselves, one has only to carefully examine the masonry in the corners from a close distance.

There are a lot of hypotheses and versions about who and how bent these stones. However, none of them can accurately describe the construction technology, moreover, so that it can be repeated today using the tools of that era (Khefren, whose name the temple is named after, lived 3 thousand years before our era). As a result, polemics in scientific (and not only) circles continues, more and more new assumptions are being born.
