Is the Washington Monument taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza today?

The Great Pyramid of Giza is so massive, with a broad square base built from millions of stone blocks, that it feels as if it must be taller than a slender obelisk. But bulk and height are different things. The Washington Monument rises about 169 m, and the Great Pyramid stands about 139 m today, so the obelisk is about 30 m taller. The pyramid has also lost height over the centuries: it was built to about 146.5 m, and its very top is gone. Even at that original height it would be more than 20 m shorter than the Washington Monument. In this duel the pyramid is measured as it stands today, which is how its height is usually given now. Its footprint is vast, but a wide base spreads its stone outwards, not upwards.
