The Bent Pyramid of Sneferu in Dahshur is most commonly considered a failure by 20th & 21st century Egyptologists. Common reasons for this explanation are the change of angle in the slope of the pyramid, the present disarray of the Upper Chamber, the slipped joint in the descending passage, the existence of two cracks on the east face, and the many patches inserted into the casing stones.

But could the search for flaws be the result of a Historian's Fallacy?

This video looks at thousands of casing stones on the Bent Pyramid to see if the damage matches the traditional story of Egyptology, or if another explanation is supported by evidence. Finally, the history of the Red Pyramid is scrutinized to see if either Dahshur Pyramid is really more advanced than the other.
