All of the pyramids were coated with a soft white limestone. The limestone coating would have given the pyramids a smooth, polished finish that sparkled bright white in the sunlight. It is estimated that the builders used about 5.5 million metric tons of limestone during the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza alone, according to National Museums Scotland, which displays one of the original limestone blocks.
