It's actually somewhat smaller than I thought - my initial comparison point was going to be the Washington Monument - but I guess skulls just aren't that big.
v= volume h= height a= area of the base s= length of the base along the ground.
Okay, imagine an egyptian pyramid. Square base, four sides. The volume should be v=(h*a)/2
Let's then say that the height is the same as the side of the base so a=s*s and h=s gives v=(s*s*s)/2
From your link we know that 655 000 skulls have a volume of 13100 cubic metres. That gives 13100=(s*s*s)/2 which gives 26200=s*s*s which gives that, the square root of three of 26200=s
I think. But I have lost my calculator so somebody else have to calculate s. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
