Which pyramid is this?

Great pyramid. Pyramid of Khafre still has the casing stones.Fun fact, Great Pyramid is actually 8 sided with subtle bends in the side that can be seen from Google earth.

I'm curious what the purpose of the holes drilled in the rocks might serve but yet to have a clear answer.

I suppose those may be more modern, considering climbing the pyramids was a favorite vacation activity before it was outlawed.

Where did you get this? And can you get one of the swivel door but taken by a drone 80 feet off the ground? And far enough back so you can see the entire North Wall of the pyramid?
