Is it true that the Giza pyramids were originally covered in smooth white limestone casing?
Unclear. The retrieved items only partially touch the claim: one notes surviving limestone casing at the apex of the pyramid of Chephren, and another describes granite casing on Menkaure's pyramid. Neither establishes that the Giza pyramids were originally covered in smooth white limestone casing.
